  2. I love the Sukie iron ons. I could see myself making all kinds of adorable gifts for my nephews with that.

  7. I like “Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing: Patterns and How-To for 24 Fresh and Easy Projects”.

  10. i love chronicle books, they are a great local publisher, and they always have amazing books!
    some of my favorites:
    1000 journals
    lotta prints
    handmade hellos

  18. I really like the Sukie graphics, they’re so playful, retro, and bright. I would love to put them everywhere in my apartment.

  23. I could see myself spending hours on the Listography Journal.

    The only thing keeping me from buying it is knowing I’d do nothing but fill it out until I finished. Chores would neverrrr get done! =P

    Love it, though!

  31. The Sock-knitting kit is perfect! I can’t seem to figure out how to get beyond a straight line so that would be a big help!

  33. i like the book called simple sewing by lotta jansdotter! ive been eyeing it for a long time but dont have money to spend on it right now.

  34. “Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Real Design Solutions” looks sooo good, this is one of my favorite websites ever! Inspiration is key & I could get alot from this book!

  35. I also would love to get my bf the “Obsessed with Star Wars” book, it would make his day!

  36. I really like “Top Chef”, the show is amazing so I am sure the book is as well!

    Thank you!

  39. I love all of these things!!! I got my sister “what’s your poo telling you?” as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. I have the Method book myself and love that it’s pretty enough to leave out on the coffee table.

  41. One of my favorites is “What’s Your Poo
    Telling You?”

    …but potty humor holds a special place in my heart. 🙂

  48. I’d also love a copy of Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Wooly Embroidery, based on just the cover alone.

  55. I gotta tell you all who are ahring the Sukie Iron-ons and Stencil 101 as your favorites, you are spot on. They are both totally fantastic and I’d really rather keep them than give them away!

    The Core Memory book is always a wonderful picture book for any computer geek.

  56. “French General: Home Sewn: 30 Projects for Every Room in the House.” I’m just a sucker for anything French, and the fabrics on the cover looked so lush.

  57. “The Designer’s Toolkit: 1000 Colors, Thousands of Color Combinations” looks perfect. Sometimes I just don’t know what colour to choose when I’m designing.

  58. “Pretty Pantry Gifts” looks right up my alley. I love making homemade edible gifts and that kit would make them look so pretty.

  67. I always love your giveaways!!! The Stencil 101 book would be perfect….perfect for me that is! I currently own a business and I have been working on new products for the spring…this book would offer some great inspiration and design tools to get started with my own patterned fabrics! I am a sucker for any how-to or craft related books!

    Thanks again and happy holidays!

  73. Continuing with the embroidery theme (a craft I’ve been wanted to get deeper in to), Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Woolly Embroidery looks awesome. Crewel intrigues me, and I’d like to see how I could apply it towards my current crafts.

  75. Both Stencil 101 and Sukie Iron-Ons, I’ve wanted ever since reading reviews on various blogs. I imagine they’d be quite useful for last minute holiday gift customizing.

  80. I love the whole Stuff on My Cat series. There’s a lot of animal lovers in my life and the photos crack us up.

  82. I really like Detail in Typography. It’s got some stuff in it that I need to drill into my brain.

  83. Also Easy Green Organic. It helps with those strange farmer’s market items I’m not sure what to do with.

  92. I think just about everything Chronicle puts out is AMAZING, but lately I have been especially coveting the Sukie iron craft pad and the handmade hellos book from Hello Lucky! I’ve been eyeing the stencil book too for some time! What fantastic books!

  95. I like “Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey” for myself because I definitely have a serious sweet tooth!

  96. “Squiggles: A Really Giant Drawing and Painting Book”. I saw this book in a store a few weeks ago when I was on a trip and keep thinking that it would be a fun gift for my sister, who although she’s 27, would really appreciate this kooky coloring book.

  99. I just recently rediscovered a scarf I started to knit 3 years ago… now I have my old enthusiasm back and would love to learn more techniques! So the “Hats Mittens and Scarves deck” would be wonderful!

  101. I am gifting so many Chronicle books this year… almost all of which I wish I could keep! Surreal Gourmet Bites is one that I bought my sister.

  103. Word up! I just bought my hunny the book Core Memory for Christmas! I think he’ll love it as much as I love the postcard book 😉
