If you’re looking for a way to put a personal touch on your Christmas or Hanukkah celebrations this winter, we were surprised to learn that our latest sponsor, Zazzle (yay, Zazzle!), has really upped their game this year. In a big way.
There’s a huge new selection of everything related to holiday cards–from stationery to return labels and even custom postage stamps–plus amazing custom gift ideas. We were really surprised ourselves to see what the site has become, and think it will be a great, affordable resource for our readers this year.
We discovered they have millions (literally) of ideas for affordable, custom gifts. It can takes a little digging–which of course we did for you–to unearth some really charming gifts that go way beyond the photo calendar or mug that you might think you know Zazzle for.
