Congratulations to RedMarionette whose Green Holiday Wreath was picked as the community favorite! This winner, along with some of the top picks shown below, will be featured in the Members' Choice Gift Guide.
Thanks to everyone who voted. I would love to see photos of your homes, festively decorated for the holiday season. (You can share photos of your home decor in the There's No Place Like Here Flickr group.)
Get Involved in the Next Round
For next week's round, we'll be featuring high-end holiday gifts on Etsy. While this is a pretty subjective term, for the sake of clarity I'm going to say items $500 and above. Nominate your favorite by pasting a link in the comments below. (If you're a seller nominating one of your own items, please just nominate one — even if you have more than one shop!)
