What's in Store

This week we found Do it Yourself (DIY) and more last-minute gift ideas for those of you that have been busy, and for those of you that like to procrastinate:

DailyCandy gives us helpful ideas for DIY gifts. Share recipe cards and cookbooks, create CD labels or calendars, make a photo album, or whip up a batch of tasty cookies. These are just some quick, easy, and fun ways for you to show your friends and family that you’re thinking of them during the holidays. Now it’s time to get creative and have some fun during the process!

Parents magazine raves about the Silver Streak, an “it” purse that can make you feel pulled-together instantly. For all stylish moms, this metallic stunner is an incognito diaper bag (it converts to a stroller bag too). Heidi Klum wears it — wouldn’t you love a dash of her gorgeous mommy style?

Splendora adds the Zyken Night Cove Alarm Clock to its holiday wish list. A gadget which doesn’t look like a time keeper at all, but rather a minimalist lamp or second cousin of H.A.L. Insomniacs are meant to be enraptured by the Cove’s intuitive high-tech features: rotating hues of various wavelengths, tailored to help you fall asleep quickly and comfortably.

Engadget unveils its Holiday Gift Guide! Instead of tackling the crowds, the traffic, and hearing Jingle Bell Rock 80,000 times, find the perfect gift online. Got a dad who never gives any insight into what they want for the holidays? Look no further — the Oregon Scientific’s Crystal Weather Station tells time, daily weather and serves as a paperweight.

Stylehive arms us with fun, colorful, and full of personality DIY stocking stuffer ideas for kids and kids at heart. There’s an innocence that make them a welcome diversion from the Polly Pockets, bulked-up superheroes, and Barbies that kids think they want. Try making a deluxe socktopus for your loved one, as it’s always a classic gift, and the fact that it’s handmade will make it unforgettable and irreplaceable.
