Doing all of my shopping online sounds like such a brilliant way to avoid a lot of the stress of the holidays, except for now, when my choices are to email a gift card, which doesn’t seem very personal, or pay gigantic overnight shipping charges.

I had just about resigned myself to having to hit the mall, when I found the neatest little online shop that has some great gift ideas–all of them printable.


Everything at New Hampshire’s Salt & Paper from the Robot Art Print (below) to the personalized stationery, is made to be printed from the comfort of your home, and you won’t pay more than a few dollars for each PDF file. The personalized princess print would be so great for a little girl on your list. Or check out personalized recipe cards (above) which are such a smart last minute hostess gift.

Admittedly, you may need to make a stop at the local office-supply store to stock up on colored ink and card stock, but I don’t imagine major lines this week.

There’s even a category of free printables, like the Keep Calm and Merry On sign which I printed today.

Keep Calm and Merry On? Why, I think I will. And pass the eggnog, I’m not driving anywhere. -Christina
