Creature Comforts Holiday Gift Guide: Useful Gifts
Tip: click on the image for an enlarged view
Useful gifts may not be the razzle-dazzling darling of the gift giving world, but of any of the presents I ever receive, it is always these that I enjoy the most. A well-made useful gift won't simply be worn once for special occasions or propped on a shelf for a season...these workhorses of giftland will be put to use and appreciated year-round. Love that!
You can find all the gifts shared in the 2012 Gift Guide right here. Coming up tomorrow: Gifts for HIM!
