Christmas is two weeks away and we are working hard on the many presents we are making this year. We love this time of year because we get to spend tons of time with our family and friends, get to drink lots of hot chocolate (which I love with whipped cream and marshmallows of course) and give back in a small way to the many people who share their love and support with us throughout the year.
Since having a child, I have realized the joys of receiving handmade
gifts particularly from kids. So in our house we are literally making
several gifts from our son to give to the people he loves including his
grandparents and great grandparents. I found several of these ideas on
pinterest (which is a definite addiction of mine) and am going to
attempt for them to be as cute as the pictures are...
For those of you without kids I have several ideas for Christmas gifts that you can share with your many loved ones. Luckily Christmas is a time when you can give anything that shows them you love them, were thinking about them or that they may need or want. So you could put together a basket of necessities for your husband that includes cologne, deodorant, under shirts, boxers and socks. For many this time of year means a much needed vacation with me time so you could provide a woman that needs a little pampering some bubble bath, manicure set or pampering in a jar.
If you are looking for a cute and simple gift perfect for the many neighbors and coworkers that you may have this is a cute idea of We Whisk you a merry Kissmas which includes a whisk and Hershey kisses. You could also make some hot chocolate jars or snowman soup which includes hot chocolate mix, marshmallows and peppermint stirring sticks. There is also a simple idea of a oven mitt, cookie mix and cookie cutter which would be fun and cute.
If you are looking for a gift to give as a thank you hostess gift for any body's house you are going to for Christmas or a gift to help make people feel good or for a difficult guy you need to buy for then the idea of a basket with the makings of their favorite drink or a drink enjoyed by all is always a good idea. Maybe a bottle of hard alcohol for the guys and a bottle of wine for the girls.
Just remember Christmas is the time to enjoy quality experiences with your family and friends. It is all about the giving of your love and time. So make sure to tell those that mean the most to you how important they are and how much you love them. As always if you would like any help with ideas or making a basket just email me at CaringExpressionsGiftBaskets@gmail.com or feel free to check me out on pinterest. Merry Christmas to you all!!!
