"Take a good look around your house, or take a trip to a used furniture store, and collect a piece or two that will give your gift department a more ‘homey' feel.
"This can be achieved with a hutch, baker's rack, kitchen island or desk. Keep in mind that smaller pieces work better. A piece with drawers and doors that can be left open provides added display space."
