Shopping @ Nottingham to Beeston Canal, Nottingham

So, there are only few more shopping days remaining until Christmas, and Hanukkah already began, but  you are still running around looking for some great gift ideas.  Also, your budget is running dry, yet the list is not complete….well you can always complete it with some great homemade gifts, or gifts from the heart.

Here are some ideas:

  • Homemade cookies or cakes
  • Homemade candy
  • Cookie lollipops
  • Festive popcorn (popcorn mixed with melted pastel chocolate mints)
  • Coupon book filled with things you can do for that special person on your list:
  • Take them shopping
  • Treat them to lunch
  • Take them to the movies
  • Help them clean their house or their car
  • Invite them to your house for dinner
  • Get together for a tea or coffee and offer a shoulder to lean on

I used the coupon idea for my daughter’s 30th Birthday, and presented her with a book of 30 different coupons.  She loved it, and we had fun fulfilling these throughout the year.

Everyone has a creative side, so I know you can come up with some more ideas, which I would love you to share with me, and our readers.

If you have exhausted all your ideas, please check out these:

“12 Best Inexpensive Gifts for Christmas” (click here ), and of course for any other occasion.

Hopefully now you can relax (at least with brainstorming), and get ready for the HOLIDAYS!!!!

HAPPY HANUKKAH!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

    It is rally fun, and it is one of those gifts that keeps on giving, until all coupons are used up. The recipient presents you with a coupon, each time they want you to fulfill it. You should try it.

    That sounds like a fun project for all of you, and a nice way to bond. You will be such a cool step mom!!!! I bet they really are enjoying your company and value your time together with them. Are you going to post some of these items? I would love to see them, since my daughter is into this stuff as well. Happy Holiday to you all!!!
