Paper origami is so last year. The newest trend is making shapes out of dinner napkins. This set ($35) comes with a lesson booklet, as well as four napkins, each with printed folding instructions for different shapes: a sailboat, a crane, a carrot, and a snail.

How cool is this: a greeting card that not only does the normal job of carrying a message, but also pops up and doubles as an origami ornament! The Winter Card, $9.90, was inspired by the Chinese "Magic Flower" paper toy, and comes in lots of different bright colors and patterns. It's perfect for a unique way to tell your best friend happy birthday, your mom thank you, or just to write a quick note to a coworker!
