37 AWESOME Christmas Gifts you didn't know you wanted 'til now! #product_design

Can you believe there’s only six weeks until Christmas! I don’t feel ready for the onslaught of eating, drinking and merry-making, since it feels like we only just emerged from Halloween. But one thing I like to get sorted by the end of November is my Christmas shopping. Call me super-organised or call me silly, but personally I just find the pre-Christmas rush in the mall makes my pulse weak and gives me a pulsing migraine. One remedy to the mall crazies is to start ordering online now, curled up on my couch with a giant cup of my favorite tea, clutching my iPad in one hand and Visa debit card in the other, and let the postman deliver the goodies straight to my door! Check!

During my online travels searching for the perfect Christmas gift I got so excited by some of the things I found on Modcloth that I just HAD to put together my favorite selection from their 2014 Holiday Gift Guide! I hope you find something perfect for you or your loved ones.
