Gift Guide: Home Décor Gift Cards

CasaSugar — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:30:00 -0800

If you have a few friends who are in the process of redecorating their homes, or one who has just moved, a home décor gift card is a great idea - there's probably a lot on their wish lists that you don't know about. The things they need or want, like say window blinds, may not necessarily be glamorous or exciting, but I'm sure they'd be happy to be able to check those shades off their shopping list.

So, I've rounded up a few décor gift cards for you that you can either buy online or in-store. Many are from national shops that you can likely find nearby if you're cutting it close. Some even have the option of e-certificates so you can have the gift card emailed to your pal, making it a great last-minute gift.

Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers

CasaSugar — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:30:42 -0800

Opening stockings and seeing my friends and family open their gifts are probably my two favorite elements of Christmas. My family is always spoiled with enormous, brimming Christmas stockings. Our stocking stuffers are a mix of drugstore-variety essentials like Chapstick and socks, and a bit pricier things like special votives, coasters, and kitchen wares. So for this stocking stuffer guide, I tried to keep to my typical budget of $25 or less. I'd pick a couple "higher-end" things that stand out to you, and then mix in the fun and cheap-o finds.

Don't have a Christmas stocking yet? Or just want to upgrade yours to something prettier? Be sure to check out my roundup of designer Christmas stockings! And check out all of our other gift guides here!
