If your holiday schedule is anything like mine, then you're on the home stretch with holiday parties coming up in the next couple of weeks.

Hostess gifts always seem a last ditch effort with many of us rushing to the wine shop for a bottle. I know, you can't go wrong with wine, but this year I have another game plan: gifts that give back.
