It's Christmas all over the world, as the song says, not to mention Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, St. Lucia Day, Boxing Day, and Winter Solstice, to name just a few of the year-end milestone days in myriad cultures and faith traditions. While not all of these celebrations come with gifts as a primary component, several do, and especially as families and communities mesh more and more, the desire to recognize a loved one or a peer with a token of appreciation in December is certainly real and often practiced.  Read more >

Books are my favorite thing to give as gifts and when my nieces and nephews were young it never failed that they would get a book under the tree from Aunt Karen. I tried very hard to match books with their interests but I learned an important lesson in gift giving through the years -- books will be better received by even reluctant readers if you pair it with something else. Here's a gift guide with 10 books that teens will enjoy and a little something extra to wrap up with them.  Read more >

I can't really comprehend why men think buying gifts for women is such a mystery. Well, I got close to clarity once when I heard a husband say, "But why would you want more earrings? You already have so many!" It's an utter lack of the ability to understand what gives women pleasure, what makes them feel loved. So I'm here to help! Why try to drop hints -- which most men are simply biologically too unsubtle to capture -- when you can email a link?  Read more >

If there's a knitter or crochet in your life you know that the winter holidays are fast approaching. You can tell by the boxes of yarn that start showing up at the door, the stacks of pattern magazines with post-its on the coffee table, and the gentle clicking of needles and whirring of hooks as entire seasons of TV are streamed on Netflix.  Evenings and weekends (and the occasional sick day) are consumed by turning gorgeous yarns into gorgeous, precious gifts.  Read more >
