Christmas seems to be coming quicker this year? Are you ready yet?
In addition to family gifts, often we have longer lists that include Secret Sister, cookie exchanges, teacher gifts, company parties and other occasions for gift giving.
What are your favorite Holiday Gifts this year?
Here are some of ours:
Entertainment Coupon Book
I have easily put together several coupons for family or friends, that have expiration dates. You can find templates online (Pinterest, etc.) or you can simply create designs on your computer. Here simple gift cards I created for either my husband or my daughter.
We finally get to do all those things we have always pushed aside.
Disney Pixar’s Inside Out
Inside Out is arriving on DVD November 3rd!
Giving the gift of a quality movie like this can simply be placed into a bag, basket or box – and packed with coloring pages, toys, snacks and popcorn.

DIY – Sugar Scrub
My friend, Stephanie, introduced me to YL Essential Oils and has enriched my life. One of her workshops featured a Sugar Scrub that can be used on your hands, elbows, feet or any other dry area. [Not recommended for the face]
It was so simple to make! You customize the oil for each person, and make one for yourself.

This is our other favorite essential oil item to make. Everyone who uses it raves about the great night’s sleep.
Home-made Baked Goods
I am not that gifted in the baking department… so I really appreciate and LOVE receiving those seasonal tins at this time of year, containing something magically delicious.
Here is a simple recipe that can be sent as a care package or handed directly to spread the love.

This is a perfect piece of educational technology. App purchases will need to be made. The LeapFrog Epic tablet has a home screen where children can bring a town to life using artistic styles that reflect their age and mood. They can access LeapFrog-exclusive content- games, apps, eBooks, and more that include 2,600 skills. It has Just for Me Learning technology that personalizes games up to 10 different ways. Select games also adjust the curriculum automatically to suit your child’s needs. It also keeps their progress in memory. I also love the fact that there are no in-app purchases.
