Christmas gift and decorating ideas

The December issue of HGTV Magazine has holiday decorating, gift, and DIY ideas, and I enjoyed the crafts IQ quiz.  (I wonder why they didn't include blue painter's tape for adhering stencils?)  And two columns I like are the Upside and Downside of decisions and How bad is your choice in making a variety of decisions.  (People actually dry their nails under a UV light?!)  Oh, wait!  There's another column I like: It compares high priced products with a similar product that's cheaper.  Sometimes the imitation looks just as good or better.  There are lots of pictures, suggestions, and advice in this issue.
