gift guides from around the web and #winning

christmas is days away, and while i'm sure most of you are on top of it and have all your gifting under wraps, there are some moments when you need a quick hostess gift to take to a last-minute party, or those moments when you realize you forgot your sister's husband's mother's nephew was going to be at the family gathering this year and you'd be forever shunned if you didn't bring him a little something.

to help keep these uh-oh's from keeping you down, here are some gift guides from around the web:

check out elsie's list of 10 handmade gifts. i have my eye on this calendar journal - it would also make a great new mom gift!

you're sure to find a cute + quick craft if you browse chelsea's 50 diy days of christmas. her cheeseball snowman would be a perfect dish for a holiday party.

katie published a great list of gifts for people who might be a little harder to shop for.


and if you're all done with shopping, visit jess's favorite christmas songs and have a celebratory christmas dance party!
