DIY Gift: Heat Soothing Neck Wrap
I'm all about the holiday season, and I love giving gifts that my friends can actually use. With that in mind, I've decided to replicate my homemade neck wrap, and give the gift of easy relaxation to all my friends.
Making your own at home is super easy and inexpensive —plus your friends will love using the wrap to unwind.
What Will You Spend on Your Kids' Holiday Gifts?
The National Retail Federation is estimating the average household will lay out around $630.85 on gifts during the holidays this year. For most families, a major chunk of that budget goes to the kiddos who have been nice and, perhaps, a tad naughty. Whether or not you plan on going over or under the national average, parents not wanting to disappoint their little ones almost always find themselves spending more than they'd like during the festive celebrations.
Better Than Lollipops: Crispy Rice Treats on Sticks
At a baby shower this year, LilSugar sent everyone home with the most clever party favors: crispy rice treats on a stick! They were the perfect parting gift at the shower, but, when adorned with color-coordinated orange sprinkles and ribbons, they'd also make a charming alternative to serve trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
This delight takes less than 10 minutes to come together on the stove top.
10 Traditional Gifts For Newborns
When it comes to gifting baby, the opportunities are endless. Layette, plush toys, books and freshly baked dinner are always winners, but these tried and true presents will make a new mom swoon and will most likely never make the "donate" stack or the garbage bag.

Cupcake Car: Love It or Hate It?
Recently Neiman Marcus released its annual Christmas book, and the Internet food world was abuzz because of one item: the cupcake car.
We got another look at these crazy cars, which are $25,000 each, a couple of days ago when Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb drove them around on the Today Show.
I think they are incredibly absurd and wonder who would ever buy one.
Do Tell: When Is the Last Time Someone Gave You Flowers?
I don't think I've ever received flowers and not loved them. I love tulips, roses, ranunculus — I'm not picky at all. OK, I'm not a fan of carnations, but even then.
Website of the Day: Lolligift
Technology is good for making office politics easier, if nothing else!
First GroupCard came out, eliminating the need to pass around a paper greeting card to say sayonara or Happy Birthday to a colleague, and now Lolligift has the same idea, only it's for pooling money together for group gifts.
Once you set it up by entering in the recipient, gift, and requested amount, you just send around the link to your participating co-workers, and people contribute their money via PayPal.
Tasty Treats For Labor and Delivery Staff
If it takes a village to raise a child, it can take a handful of people to deliver one. Nurses, doctors, midwives and doulas often play instrumental roles in baby's debut. Though only 23 percent of lilsugar readers said they thanked their birth assistants with a gift, those who did made thoughtful purchases.
Is Regifting Children's Gifts Clever or Tacky?
What's a mom to do when her son winds up with three of the same toys at the end of his birthday party? Philanthropic parents donate their excess goodies to charities while others take the presents back to exchange for fresh loot. Then, there's always that inkling some people have to rewrap the unused gift and pass it off to another child.
10 Items For Monogramming
If you like it, then you should put a name on it. Labeling is good for keeping tabs on items, but a simple monogram can add a touch of personality and class to an ordinary gift. Pick up a basic item and pay a few extra bucks for a quick stitch job that makes the gift-giver look even more thoughtful.
