It’s the Monday before Christmas and I find myself quickly abandoning handmade gift plans and hitting the 2-day shipping button on Amazon
(failure) but there is still time to incorporate a little personal touch in your gift-giving by pairing up a quick-n-easy hand-crafted gift with the ease of a store-bought item. In our December newsletter we featured a collection of these handmade/store-bought gift combos and you liked them so much that we decided to come up with a few more.
