The Holiday Gift Guide 2011... Gifts Under $100

Last year, I started a tradition of posting some of my favorite gifts to give to those on our holiday shopping lists, and since I had such positive feedback and inquiries asking if I was going to do it again this year, I thought why not! I'm starting with larger gifts for those extra special people on our lists, and then working my way down to the little odds and ends, which are perfect for stocking stuffers, gifts for neighbors/work colleagues, etc. Here is the plan:

• Gifts Under $100
• Gifts For Her
• Gifts Under $50
• Gifts For Him
• Gifts Under $25
• Gifts For the Couple
• Gifts for Babies and Kids
• Gifts Under $10

If there is any category I have missed, or one you'd like for me to add, be sure to let me know! Obviously, I heart any reason to scour websites for fun holiday items ;).
