Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » weekly wrap up: gift guide madness

this week was all about gift guides at d*s, we covered gifts under $25, under $50, under $100, eco-friendly gifts and handmade gifts. all in all over 254 products and ideas to hopefully help in your holiday search. ac is going to help me with a guide for guys next week so stay tuned next week for that. in the meantime you can always browse the gift guides (as well as the 2006 gift guide) right here. i also wanted to add some gift ideas that don’t involve buying but rather donating so check out those links below, as well as highlights from this week. have a great weekend, see you on monday!

Thanks for adding that part of giving to your site! I’ve always loved your ideas.

Thanks so much for including this section. As a hand-maker, I’ve taken the handmade pledge, but for a few people on my list, I’ve been having a difficult time finding the right thing. This is a great alternative that I can still feel great about!

OMG, I absolutely love your gift guides, and they are assembled with so much taste! The whole idea of gift guides is wonderful, I’m thinking of creating such guides for my blog (with due credit to your wonderful blog, of course). Thanks!
