The Gift List

It is time for a little gift giving and if you are still searching for just the right present then I may be able to help you out.  If you follow MD on Facebook then you have seen these little goodies over the past few weeks, but I thought I would put them all together in one spot so you can finish off your gift list quick.  So let's get it started.

We start with a little something for the man in your life...husband, dad, brother - this is a good one for all.


The Dollar Shave Club will send razors directly to your house for only a few dollars a month.  And the razors  are really good quality.  I know because my husband is part of the Club and um I might heist his razor a while bunch.  Ssshhhhhh.

Next up is this little pack of 10 mini OPI nail polishes.  And the colors rock!



Including my favs Lincoln Park After Dark, Big Apple Red & Bubble Bath.  $23.49 on Amazon!

Have any of you heard of Spoonflower?!?!?  Kinda sounds like one of those amazing frozen yogurt flavors at the I can't stop myself serve yourself yogurt places.  But no, this is a kick-butt fabric place that actually does let you do-it-yourself!  At Spoonflower you can create your very own fabric.



Oh yeah baby!  Create your own fabric!  But remember, this is a gift so buy a gift card for your fabric loving friend (and maybe pick one up for yourself too).

Still with me?  I hope so cause this is a goodie and at the top of my Christmas list.  My very favorite bloggers just released their first book.  Oh Young House Love how I love thee.  And I can't wait to get my hands on this book stuffed full of top notch DIYing projects!



You can find it right here on Amazon!

Wow, after all this gifting I am getting hungry.  So let's cook!



Another blogger gone published.  Smitten Kitchen is a great cooking blog and has just blessed us with a cookbook.  Yummo!  A great buy for all chefs, wanna-be chefs and people who like to look at pretty pictures of food and drool.  Pick it up at at Barnes & Noble.

So I'm hoping I have helped you wrap things up (hahaha I am so funny!).  And if you have any must gift gifts share the love in a comment below.  Happy wrapping!

Christmas Card Trees

I usually avoid getting the mail but this time of year I can't wait to get to the curb and grab all the Christmas Cards.  But the question is, what do you do with all the cards once you get them inside?  How about a Christmas Card Tree?  Here are a bunch of different ideas to create your very own.

How about a Branch Christmas Card Tree from Martha Stewart?  All you need are branches, stones, ribbons, a hole punch and some wire.  Click here to get the details.  



If your looking for a more modern idea try a String Christmas Card Tree!  My Poppet gives you the how-to on this fun idea.



My good friend Liz set up a small Christmas Tree (yes, a real one that came from the ground) in her entry way to hang all the cards from.  Similar to this...



Here is another tree Little Lucy Lu.  And I love this one because it can be used year after year!





So lots of ideas to get your cards up and looking pretty.  But if you have been procrastinating and still haven't gotten those cards in the mail here are some fun ideas to inspire that Christmas Card Pic!
