Christmas Traditions...

I know, everyone is busy running around trying to get everything done with only 2 days left 'til Christmas! But I am curious to hear some of your favorite family traditions...

One of mine is hearing Santa's bells on Christmas Eve. We all gather in the living room to open our "one" present, and somehow my mom or dad would sneak outside and run around the house with a strand of very real sounding jingle bells. I always thought it was so magical! It was always the sign that we needed to get to sleep FAST so Santa would leave our presents. Even to this day, whoever is at my parent's house, the bells still circle around the house - the kids LOVE it. Sometimes we even jump in the car and go to other's houses to let them hear the bells... it's always exciting to try and not get caught!

I could list more, but I want to hear yours! If you have a couple minutes, take the time to leave a comment - I think it's fun to get new ideas, and I KNOW you have some fun things that you do!

Last Minute Christmas Gifts

Yes - we still have them!! Here are some pictures to give you a few ideas...

The good ol standby of soda and popcorn...but packaged up cute!

This brown box is filled with chocolate covered cinnamon bears, gourmet red/black raspberries, chocolate covered marshmallows, and yummy chocolate ice cubes. Grab one already made or buy the box and fill your own!

We have darling flower clippies, scarves, necklaces (some as low as $8!), and bracelets! Perfect friend gifts or stocking stuffers for girls of all ages! Oh yeah - and seriously the cutest baby headbands for the holidays!

Gummi Raspberries bottled in a jar...

Chic stockings - 1/2 off!

And hats to match - also 1/2 off!

Santa is In - Santa is Out Wooden Sign - 1/2 off as well!

We also still have cellophane bags in all sizes... they are definitely going fast, so come in quick and get what you need to finish off those last minute gifts.

Snowman Treat

I just found this picture online and thought I would share! Aren't they so cute! They totally make me smile! I am definitely not taking credit for these, but I couldn't find the original contributor.

To make these cute little treats you will need:

-White powdered mini donuts

-Mini chocolate chips OR brown or black frosting (frosting works better to stick to the powder)

-Candy corns or a real mini carrot carved to the right size

12 Days of Christmas

The Christmas Season has officially arrived... for some it came along time ago, others it might have started on Black Friday... and for me it always starts with our first family Christmas party, held on the first Saturday of December. It always gets me in the mood... and I have been thinking... what can I do this year to help someone else?

Sometimes it's easy to know what to do; there are obvious needs in your neighborhood, or someone in your family has already organized some sort of sub for santa. But if you are stuck - like me - then maybe the 12 Days of Christmas packet is just what you need!

Just pick someone that might need a little Christmas Cheer... an older couple, a single mom or dad, or even just some friends. This little packet comes with all the tags (each written in poem form) you will need and directions as to what goes with each tag.

This particular one is pretty simple: Christmas placemats, cans or liter of Sprite, red & green M&M's, a Christmas ornament, Christmas story, popcorn, any sweet treat, fruit, candle, homemade treat, candy canes, and a single or potted flower.

There are also a couple of blank tags if you decide to switch up a day or two. You can buy this at our store or online... or just use it as inspiration and create your own!

I think it will be so much fun to do with my 4 year old - he will learn about giving to others secretly, and he will have fun helping me put together the little gifts.

Remember you will start this on December 13th in order to end on the 24th.

Holiday Cookie Party

Just wanted to share this link with you on

HOW TO host a Holiday Cookie Swap Party!

Sounds like fun...

And really not a whole lot of work!

If you decide to actually host one of these yummy get-togethers, keep in mind that we have many packaging options for your cookies; chinese take-out containers, colored and kraft gable boxes, and lots of paper boxes, perfect for placing a few cookies down inside!

Tie up with some ribbon and you have yourself a neighbor gift (or two)!

Pick up a room spray for a door prize, some balloons as a centerpiece - and you're done! Wahoo!

Let me know how your cookie swap party goes...

Christmas is coming!

Hello friends! I know I have been out of touch with all of you. Actually there was so much of work as well as there was the Thanksgiving week. This year we had small gathering on Thanksgiving as most of the relatives and friends are coming home on Christmas. I have already started counting the days. Even I put up a Christmas countdown. Isn't it nice? It's a perfect Countdown to pimp for your profile. Check it out.

25. Handmade Christmas Ornaments

There are a plethora of ways to create handmade ornaments, here are a couple of ideas.

Wired Star Ornament:

To make an ornament like the one here, wrap one end of a 3-foot length of 18-gauge gold-colored craft wire around a pencil to form a hanging loop. With the loop at the top of a star cookie cutter, press the wire twice around the perimeter of the cookie cutter to form a star shape, twisting it around the hanging loop and using wire cutters (a parent's job) to snip off any excess. Remove the cutter.
Complete the ornament by wrapping the wire outline with lengths of 20-to 24-gauge colored lightweight wire, securing the ends in place by wrapping them around the cookie cutter outline.
Finally, tie a hanging ribbon to the loop, and your ornament is ready for display.
