By now you should be turning to GiftingMap as the one-stop-shop for all your holiday presents (and if you aren't, what are you waiting for?), but we're about to sweeten the deal.

One of the coolest features of this curated shopping site is the ability to create a personalized gift guide, meaning you can send out your preferences to friends and family and they can send theirs back to you.

Just take and share fast, fun quizzes and instantly get personalized gift guides for yourself, and your friends, family, co-workers, and anyone else on your list.

But now you can also share your results from November 28 through December 25 and win one of four major GiftingMap shopping sprees. Here's how it works:

Complete a men's, women's, or home and lifestyle quiz — each quiz you complete and share gets you an entry to that giveaway
Send your personalized URLs to at least three friends, inviting them to also take the quizzes
We'll send their gift guide directly to your inbox, so you'll always have their preferences handy
Whoever shares the most in each quiz category gets $250 to spend at GiftingMap for themselves and $50 each to give to three friends
The grand prize winner — whoever shares the most overall — gets $500 to spend at GiftingMap and $100 each to give to 3 friends
We'll announce the winners after December 25

Even if you don't end up winning the cash, you do walk away a winner in the friend department. We'll send you recommendations in advance of their birthdays and other special occasions, giving you plenty of time to select exactly what they'll love. Imagine: You'll never have to guess the right colors, patterns, or jewelry ever again.

6 new tenants add fitness, food, and fashion to the Inwood Village mix

Inwood Village is adding new tenants to its walkable shopping experience.

An always-evolving North Dallas shopping destination will welcome a half dozen new tenants. A fitness studio, home retailer, three boutiques, and a cozy East Coast-inspired restaurant will add to Inwood Village's lineup of shopping and dining experiences.

“As we welcome these new tenants, we’re expanding the variety of experiences available to our guests and reinforcing Inwood Village’s role as a vibrant hub for the surrounding community,” says Corinne Hoffman, vice president at L&B Realty Advisors, in a release.

The six newcomers (with provided descriptions) are:

Charlie’s
Vandelay Hospitality Group will debut Charlie's in the former Adelmo’s Ristorante space. In partnership with Bob Sambol (Bob’s Steak and Chophouse), Charlie’s is being designed to feel like a true neighborhood gathering place similar to the East Coast eateries the veteran restaurateur knew in his youth. True to the nostalgic vibe, the restaurant will not offer reservations online, but only the old-fashioned way, by phone.

Lake Pajamas
Founded in 2014 in Savannah, Georgia, Lake Pajamas has luxurious sleepwear, loungewear, and everyday essentials for the whole family in store. The brand offers soft fabrics and everything from classic pajama sets to cozy robes and matching family collections. Its November opening makes Lake a new destination for thoughtful gifts this gifting season.
LiftHer
LiftHer will offer strength training for women via personalized, small-group fitness sessions designed to build confidence and lasting results. The women-only studio combines professional coaching with progressive strength programming in an intimate setting. Members will have access to dedicated equipment, individualized guidance, and a like-minded community. Women new to lifting or looking to take training to the next level can get stronger through education, accountability, and a welcoming environment, representatives say.

Buru
Founded in 2013, Buru blends fashion and function in its stylish, comfy, versatile women’s clothing. Manufactured with busy women in mind, the brand’s colorful prints and elevated silhouettes result in pieces that transition from daily life to special occasions — statement dresses to polished wardrobe staples and everything in between. The line is designed to help women feel comfortable and effortlessly put together, they say.

Ball and Buck
Men’s clothing and accessories are the focus of Ball and Buck, an outdoor lifestyle brand founded in 2008 that merges American craftsmanship and sporting tradition, promotional materials say. Pieces embody rugged functionality and are designed to be worn hard, improve with age, and last generations. Ball and Buck adheres to a domestic manufacturing and quality-over-quantity philosophy.

Rejuvenation
Heritage‑inspired and quality-focused pieces are the soul of Rejuvenation, a Portland‑based home furnishings brand. Originally rooted in architectural salvage, the brand now designs and manufactures many of its lighting fixtures in the U.S., blending classic forms with enduring craftsmanship, a press release says. Its Inwood Village location will showcase lighting, hardware, furniture, handpicked vintage pieces, and textiles.
