We're kicking November to the curb and happily welcoming December with our highly anticipated, super spectacular 2011 Holiday Gift Guide! Whoo!



For the 6th straight year, we've scoured the web for the best gifts ever--150 this year at every price point for everyone on your list -- from babies to brothers-in-law, girlie girls and budding architects, the mother-in-law that's impossible to shop for, yes even you.

Because mamas need cool gifts too!

[Don't miss the amazingly huge giveaway after the jump!]
As always, we've featured loads of indie artisans, small boutiques, and family-run businesses, so you're in good hands. And we've got amazing discount codes and a huge, whopping giveaway thanks to our sponsor Em Tanner Designs, whose owner, designer, and all around cool mom Em Tanner makes all sorts of cool items that make fabulous gifts year round.



EXTRA COOL: WIN IT! We're a small biz too! If you help us spread the word about our holiday gift guide, you could win a $500 gift certificate to Em Tanner Designs! Just like or share the holiday gift guide on Facebook before December 24 -- all the details are right on the guide.

Whether you're heading straight to our under $15 gift category or are searching for that huge memorable gift for that special kid who's been extra good this year, we've got you covered. We know how busy the holiday season can be, so we're happy to help.

Enjoy the guide. It was made with lots and lots of love.
