Martha Stewart presents some of the most beautiful and
creative ideas to make Chirstmas special. Her gift and
wrapping ideas allow for the kind of creativity that will
make each gift truly special and "from the heart".The
decorating ideas she presents are truly beautiful and have
given rise to many new holiday traditions in our home
and in the homes of the many friends that have borrowed
this book from me. The fact that she provides the names and
addresses of the mail order houses she gets her supplies
from for all of the wonderful things she shows in the book
is a god-send.

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.
