I've been chatting with friends and fellow stampers about creating a stockpile of gifts for Christmas on my blog this week. I'd love to get some more ideas before I formulate my plans for this year. So I thought this could be a really fun thread!
What are you stamping for the Holidays this year? Or what have you seen that you'd love to stamp for the Holidays? Or what have you stamped in the past (especially if it's in your gallery)? Show us!
Let's get the ideas following! :mrgreen: It's stamping time! :cool:

I would love to be doing CD calendars because I have finally found a source for the correct type of cases! The only issue right now is that I can't find a template for 2007. I've posted in the techniques forum so hopefully someone will have one I can borrow.
I think I'll also be making some Card Candy card sets for my sister's stocking. Check out my gallery if you want to see an example.

This is one thing I will be doing this holiday season....wine boxes. They give that extra personal touch to a gift that (while otherwise still welcome) can be a bit impersonal.
I am doing a lot of altered lunch tins (recipe box, stationary box, scrapbook in a box...!), altered bandaid tins with ribbon inside, nameplates, altered journals...
Last year I did stationary sets. The portfolio type with 4 matching monogram cards inside. This year I'm going to do name frames (I think) and possibly calendars in CD cases. I also have a few lunch box tins to do too!! Better get moving.
My demo has a holiday gift camp at the end of the month, so I'm sure it will inspire me to do other things.
I love the wine boxes, too. But Frapuccino bottles is something I haven't heard of yet. Have a link?
Nicole, these are altered Starbucks Frap bottles. Darlin'.. I found several diff ones.. put anything inside you desire- ribbon, candy, buttons, embellishments, etc. Any little pretty bottle would work too. http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/pg.a...yout_id=988735

My sister does a monthly monthly family newsletter that she sends out to both sides of the family. It is quite a production and really fun to read. Today is her birthday and I stamped 12 months of legal sized envies for her to send out the newsletters in. Each month was different...snowmen for January, hearts for Februrary,etc. It turned out really great. If I had any need for 200 decorated envies, I would have kept them for myself.
If any of you have a family historian that sends out newsletters, this might be a great idea!
Everyone on my team at work is getting post it notes magnets! I work in telecom engineering, so EVERYONE uses post it notes. If I'm feeling really generous I'll make a matching pen too. We have a few folks that don't celebrate Christmas (or any other holiday for that matter) so they are going to get one also stamped with "You're Neat". I just love that set!!!
karcher,
are these the ones you are doing Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I am making these for the people I work with. I also did them for craft fairs and sold quite a few---all packaged up ready for gift giving.

This is exactly what I'll be attempting to make. I have never done these before, so it should be fun! I decided against the acrylic holder type of post it note holder...space is at a premium on our desks, I figured a magnet would work better!

Thanks for sharing the pic!!!
easy peasy---and thanks to eschrader(elaine) for sharing the awesome directions. I also did the pencil holder with ribbon for some of them. Found some mini skinny pens for some of them---the hardest part is matching the post it notes LOL
What are you stamping for Christmas?
