Stovetop Potpourri
If you want perfect Holiday scents through your home and don’t have time to bake,
try a stovetop potpourri that fills your home with sweet spices that literally smells like you’ve been baking all day. Such a great little pot to have simmering for your Holiday parties.
A pretty gift
Holiday Spice simmering Stovetop Potpourri
2 cinnamon sticks or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon whole cloves or 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 orange peel, quartered (dry or fresh cranberries are also great to add as well)
1 whole nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups water
♥♥♥
You can add all of the dry pieces to a jar or cellophane bag,
wrap in the ribbon a little Tablespoon (from the dollar store)
Attach the recipe as a gift tag
Check your dollar store for cinnamon sticks and the other spices, it can be an inexpensive gift idea!

Write a heart-felt note
Mothers are often unappreciated and their daily service can sometimes be taken for granted.
A letter written by a child, remembering special moments,
acknowledging her mother’s service and sacrifice is a true treasure.
The more specific, the better.
A simple notebook (or scrapbook) of memories.
If you find there is more to say than fits in a card, perhaps use a small notebook .
Many craft stores have lovely notebooks.
Write down memories and special words, including character traits you respect and admire. Pictures are a lovely too, have the kids draw memories you are sharing
or simply draw some "happy" artwork for Grandma (or Mom).
The notebook does not have to be filled. A few pages of heart felt gratitude will be appreciated.
This could also be a new tradition in which you write some thoughts and memories
from the previous year each Mother's Day.

Gift Baskets
Discover what they love
and fill a basket with their favourite hobby, flowers, stationery, magazines,
colouring, crafts, luxuries or foods.
Gifts of time
What more precious of a gift can you give somebody than your time?
It is so easy to get so busy with life that we forget to slow down
and spend quality time with those that we love.
We have to be intentional about spending time with our loved ones
if it is going to happen on a consistent basis.
Basket of date nights!
You basically just make an envelope for each month and include inside each envelope
the plans for a special date and the funds (or gift cards) to pay for the date.
It is so clever and a great way to have a planned monthly date with your spouse.
I think that this would be a great idea to do for your kids as well.
Plan a monthly outing and include all of the details in the envelopes.
It doesn't have to be expensive, and most of the outings could even be free -
a picnic at the park, a hike in the woods, etc.
Be creative and use your imagination!

These seed bombs would make the perfect gift
for your favorite gardener. Actually, they are so easy to use (no digging required!) that they would make a great gift for anybody. They are equal parts seeds, compost, and clay, and you don't even have to plant them! You just throw them wherever you want them to grow. What a great idea! Get the full instructions as well as a cute printable to include with your gift here. |
There is just something nice about having a printed picture to look at, and they also make wonderful gifts - especially when displayed in a unique way.
I love these DIY picture tiles.
They look very custom and professional, but are actually very easy to make yourself.
You can use family photos or art prints to make a stunning gift!
Another unique way to give pictures as gifts is with glass jar picture frames.
They are very easy to make and are practically free since you can just reuse old glass jars.
