This gift idea is smart, memorable and easy to put together! It also involves some de-cluttering, which never hurts!

Many of us build up clutter at home because we put sentimental value towards so much of it. If you're a parent, chances are you have a considerable pile up of artwork from your kids. You don't want to discourage your children from being creative, but a fridge can only hold so much!

We've got the perfect solution: combine your favorite drawings (or let the kids pick) with these inexpensive, yet simple and elegant, Stage Frames from Umbra ($8.99 - $13.99). Framing their doodles will help you sort through the drawings you want to keep, display, share, and, inevitably, discard.

When displaying their work in your home, think simple frames, as the drawings tend to be busy. Plus, grouping works in multiple frames displayed on one wall can make a statement. It will look organized, unified and less fridge-like - and you get to show your kids how proud you are. Click here for our selection of frames online.

So, for this Christmas (or any other occasion), work on some framing projects with your kids and make some great gifts for mom, dad, grandma and/or grandpa and so on! 

Looks like none of us at RIO can get enough of this little cutie! The Silver Fox Desk Organizer ($22.99) from Gamago is this week's staff pick.

Ashley says: "This bright piece adds a sense of whimsy and charm to any desk. Give him to your boss, your mother or keep him for yourself to perk up your new year. Perfect for gift exchanges!"
