I know that we're actually celebrating Halloween this week, but for us crafters, a bunch of us have been working on holiday gifts since July, so for you, I wanted to say this: I just picked up the new Martha Stewart special Holiday edition magazine dedicated to Handmade Gifts, and it was decent. There were a few things that were cute, but not really gift worthy, and a few that seemed silly (like felt slippers... from felt, not felted knitted slippers), but also some tasty jams and soaps and things, and a knitted scarf, and teacup candles, and things that I'd totally make and give. If you're looking for ideas for small inexpensive things, there are quite a few. You might want to check it out.
