cheaper than you might think. Here are four books to help you get crafty this holiday season, plus gift ideas
for those who'd rather leave the work to the professionals.

Not crafty? Try another treat for the feet: Hydra Heart's custom-made, shockingly affordable Mary Janes and ballet flats are 100 percent vegan and totally adorable (starting at $30; buildanest.com).
