Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Inspiration is the key to a memorable Christmas season, says Stewart at the start of this collection of recipes and projects for assembling the mostly easy gifts and decorations culled from the last four years worth of Martha Stewart Living magazine. Some of the ideas seem drawn from the far edge of inspiration: tiny boxes made from acorns, sanded and stained and stopped with corks; a living wreath fashioned from 20 kinds of succulent plants; starfish and other shells studded with silver dragees; gift wrapping made from brown paper lunch bags sealed with decorative machine-stitching. Some processes, like gift tags and cards printed with potato stamps, go back to techniques taught in grade school, but even these are given new life by Stewart's sophisticated eye and careful execution. Clear instructions and tempting photos accompany every holiday treat, from porch swags to pomander bowls and candles, rolled, dipped or molded. A list of sources for materials is included.

I have used many of these projects and loved it. The ribbon trays I have given as gifts were well received, and once I got the glass cut, were just gorgeous. I found baskets on sale one day, and they just all came together, not as expensive as I thought. I think the ribbon cost the most, but still, a really great gift for not a lot of money in my case. Recipes, of course, and things like candlemaking are showcased here. So glad I bought it!

This book taught me the best way to wrap gifts.

I am usually a Martha fan but I see these books of hers as an attempt to just suck more money out of us. Almost everything in this book can be found in past issues of her magazine. If I would have known that I would have went to the library and decided what was best myself.I believe all of her books are this way---I mean samples from her show and magazine. Nothing new or surprising.
