Good gifts can be hard to find. And I don’t work well under pressure, so with less than four weeks left until Christmas, I’m feverishly trying to find the perfect present for everyone on my list. I’m especially fond of kits this year… I consider them to be the modern, DIY version of the gift basket. Keep reading to see ten of my very favorites.
