I LOVE IT!! Holiday Gifts and Links

I have learned from the past years of doing holidays (especially after having kids) that there are always people and parties you don't think at the time to include on your shopping list - plus hostess gifts and big people birthdays...i like to have a little gift stash i can pull from for such events. Luckily, beer and jam save well and are my "go to" gift i can whip out before a party. Here are some ideas and links for you to enjoy...plus a couple of my own... :)
