  It always happens: jingle bells are jingling, carolers are singing, happy holidays are nearly here...and you realize that someone on your list is still without a gift. Suddenly, you're not feeling too jolly. Ho, ho, ho: there are so many happy solutions in these pages, you'll have the problem solved faster than Santa's reindeer can fly. Best of all, you don't need any special craft skills (or unusual materials) to make these 60 great-looking, distinctive gifts. And, some take only about 10 minutes to complete! For example, head to the local nursery to pick up the plants and potting soil to construct a living garden of succulents. Turn wood from a lumberyard into an easy-to-build CD rack. Whip up your own herbal bath oil, sew a simple ribbon vest, or gild some candles with paint. Relax-it takes no time all to make someone you love feel supremely gifted!
