The Indie Love Holiday Gift Guide is coming! It will soon be time to catch snowflakes on your tongue, drink hot cocoa and tea and enjoy sitting by the fire. My favorite part would have to be the gift wrapping…there is nothing like picking out the perfect gift and then wrapping each one by hand!

The Gift Guide will run from October 1st through December 31^st, 2008. I will post about the launch and it will be a main feature on the blog for the length of the guide. It will also go out to all who subscribe to my newsletter. I will choose items from whoever participates to feature on the blog for the months that the guide is up. There will be 3 listing sizes available in the following categories:

She Wants

He Wants

Babes and Tots

For the Home

What To Wear

Paper Goods

Gotta Have A Sparklie

One of A Kind

Animated GIF Option! Large Listings $50 – The Large Listings include one 375 x 275px product image OR one 375×275 animated gif image.
