If you're like me this time of year is exciting...but exhausting.
I'm always on a budget, but want to find unique and fun things for the special people in my life. So this year, I'm going to pay it forward. As I find really fun things...I'm going to post them for you. I've employed this guy as my helper. You recognize him, right?
Yes! From A Heartfelt Christmas Promise! Inspired by the old Budweiser commercials with the handsome horse trainer and that trouble-finding puppy. All the warm & fuzzies.
I renamed him "The Quicker Clicker" for this assignment. (He works for bacon bits.)
I'll be adding new things right here on this post as time goes on. So bookmark and come back to see what's new on the list when you're stuck for ideas!
HERE WE GO!
FIRST ON THE LIST....my Santa hat...the one everyone adores that with a sweep of my hand can change the sequins on the front from naughty to nice.
So cute!
You get two sets. One for you and one for a friend! Sharing is caring.
NEXT UP .... perfect for your adult children, your best friends and co-workers and yourself. These whimsical ADULTING checklists are spiral bound and come in a pack of 6 for less than $14 ... so it's one sweet deal. They are only 5x7 so they will fit perfectly in a stocking, or sit nicely atop one of my Christmas novels (hint-hint) as a stackable easy-to-wrap gift.
My very favorite pajama sets and they are on sale!
I hope you catch the deal, but even if you don't SOMA INTIMATES has the best PJs (and you know I know my pajamas!)
Buy the COOL NIGHTS pajama set. You will not be disappointed and if you're in that night-sweat phase of your life...honey, these are your ticket to happiness!
I have to say that the JOYSPUN pajamas that run about $15 are surpringly comfortable and wash well. I have the pink and black "PAJAMAS ALL DAY" set, and I just bought extras. At that price you can't go wrong.
Search your local WalMart for a pair.
Pajamas are always a welcome gift!
Do you have a bunch of people you'd love to do something for? I know...it's hard to figure out. I've done this before and it never gets old. You can give it alone, or add it to a basket of other goodies, but I'm hear to tell you it's always met with appreciation.
Simmering potpourri jars. Here's the link to a 30pk of small mason jars with the 2-pc lids that are a really good deal. A buck a piece. So, this is very budget friendly and can be so pretty.
RECIPE FOR SIMMERING POTPOURRI
Here's my recipe for simmering potpourri. You can mix and match the ingredients to fit your budget and preference. I always add a stick of cinnamon, piece of orange peel, cinnamon candies and a little sprig of pine or fir because it makes it look Christmassy and smells good even if you don't add anything else.
Other beautiful fresh or dried herbs are Star of Anise, basil, thyme, rosemary. Adding fresh cranberries are pretty too.
Stuff whatever you like into the little jar. Add a pretty fabric or paper under the cap and a ribbon and you're ready to go. The instructions are simple. Toss in a pot on the stove with a couple of cups of water and let it fill the room with the aroma of the holidays. Don't let it evaporate dry! I usually bring mine to a boil and turn it off and let it simmer.
If you're not a QR Code clicker...here's the link straight to the jars. https://amzn.to/40UppBr
