I have been receiving e-mails from Kate Spade the past few days with some fantastic images of holiday inspired photos, as well as gift ideas. I got curious, checked out the website, and found a plethora of items I would love to find under the tree, as well as ideas for handmade gifts this year! Kate Spade magazine ads are some of my favorite things about the holidays [GAP ads being the other biggie!] When I am in the city next weekend [!!!] I plan on stopping by the Kate Spade store to check out the window displays. Here are some of my favorite items from the "Gift Guide!"
