The holidays are a time for giving thanks to those you love, and to all the people who touch your life during the year. When invited to a party I always try to bring a little gift. Sometimes it's just a bottle of wine or something I've baked or cooked for the party.

Today's post is a handy list of some ideas that may help you with your gift-giving list. For each section, I've given you two ideas on things you can buy and one you can make if you feel so inclined.
