I would love to give handmade presents to everyone on my list this year, but as the holiday season inches closer, I'm realizing I may have a bit too ambitious. I'm rethinking my original plan, checking out local craft fairs, and scouring online sites for the perfect-for-that-person find. If you're in the same boat, think about a customizable option—I'm talking more than monograms, folks. 

We chatted about What Wood You Say yesterday, and if you get your order in soon, this would be perfect for your friend that has a catchphrase.

If a build-your-own-candy-bar is more your style, Chocri can help with that. Customize your chocolate bar by picking a base flavor of organic, fair trade Belgian chocolate and choosing from more than 100 toppings (candied lilac + hazelnut brittle, for real). Even tastier? The company donates 1% of every purchase to DIV Kinder, a charity that supports kids in the Ivory Coast.

I'm loving the understated ornaments from Paloma's Nest. It's been a tradition to give an ornament every St. Nicholas Day in my boyfriend's family, and these crisp, customizable ceramic pieces are just the thing.
