The holidays are upon us, and if you’re like me…a very busy mom with a to-do list that is endless, I know how overwhelming it can be to find gifts for all the special people in your life. You want to be thoughtful. You want to include everyone. BUT, it can become expensive and takes a lot of time. From your child’s teacher (add bus driver, principal, aide, etc.), to a coworker/boss, to neighbors, to nannies/babysitters, to family/friends…it starts to add up quickly!
What if I told you that you didn’t have to sacrifice thought when putting together a gift?
I have compiled a list of inexpensive ideas to pair with some printable gift tags that I offer in my Etsy shop! Most of these gifts can be put together for under $25, even under $15 – depending how simple or detailed you want to get! Grab a seasonal mug and tuck a gift card inside for $15. Or elevate it with a tasty treat or favorite snack . It’s entirely up to you!
I hope these help minimize the stress that may accompany this time of year, and perhaps bring out the JOY in gift giving!
