Although a THANK YOU is always more than enough, why not go the extra mile this season? The holidays are around the corner… so, get your Santa hat on and gear up because it’s gift giving time!
I know that shopping for presents can feel like a daunting endeavor. But I’m here to help relieve any stress that comes with buying gifts for the multitude of people in your life. Between my kids’ teachers, bus drivers, coaches, nanny/babysitter, cleaning lady, neighbor/friends, and family (add coworkers/boss, too), the money adds up real quick! Plus, the time it takes to go out and shop is something most of us don’t have a lot of these days! But, don’t let this stop you.
You CAN create simple, easy and cute gifts for the many people who bring joy to your life! Having worked in a school, I know how coveted the gift cards were by many teachers. While a simple handmade card or thank you is all that’s needed, a small gift card never hurts either! So, all of these ideas shared can be coordinated WITH a gift card. The best part is you can make them as simple or elaborate as you wish! If you love a good theme like me, then you’ve come to the right place!
Most of the gifts I’ve put together follow a winter theme related to either snowmen, coffee/hot cocoa, peppermint or mint products, and snow/snowflakes! Below are the products I’ve come across that you can include with the printable tag shown in the image! Happy Shopping 🙂
SNOWMAN COCOA/COFFEE GIFT SET
SNOWMAN & MINT GIFT SET
PEPPERMINT/CANDY CANE GIFT SET
SNOWFLAKE BARK GIFT SET
Children’s Books for Older Grades!
For those of you who have kids that are in later elementary grades, these books would be perfect to gift their teacher with the snowflake treat above!
FOR A COWORKER OR NEIGHBOR!
Because Essential Oils are all the craze now (undoubtedly, they are helpful and we use them in our home!). So, what better gift to add to the chocolate snowflake treat and gift card than this awesome diffuser! Add some peppermint essential oil, and you have the perfect present…a great addition to the office, cubicle, or living room!
SNOW ONE LIKE YOU GIFT
As you browse the aisles of some of other favorite shops like HomeGoods, Pier 1, William Sonoma, Kirklands, Michaels, Hobby Lobby….you are sure to find some other cute gift items that coordinate with these fun winter themes! From snowman oven mitts to snowflake cookie cutters, you should have no problem putting together a creative and thoughtful holiday gift! Here are some additional items I’ve found for you:
FOR THE HOST/HOSTESS
Below are a few gift card design options from Target & Starbucks this year that fit in perfectly with these gifting themes!
If you’re a busy mama like me, and time is of the essence, just grab a handful of chocolates, toss them in a bag, tie a ribbon or some twine around it, add a printable tag and gift card…..consider yourself set!! Hope you have the happiest of holidays. Don’t forget to spoil those you truly care about!
