My little niece is obssessed with Project Runway. She loves the program, the challenges and the work the designers do to create their clothes. So needless to say, her Christmas gift this year was a no-brainer: our Project Runway Projector set by Fashion Angels. According to her mother, it was a big hit. Huge. Can't put it down. (I admit that I do feel a certain sense of gratification when I've picked the perfect gift for someone!)
