Really excited to get started. I just found Christmas gifts for my twins teacher and their classmates. I have a question though anyone know of a craft to hold a Christmas ornament the kids are making in class they are glass bulbs so my kids are responsible for the individual packaging for them I need 29 by Wednesday. Please help any suggestions :-)
I’m glad you could find some gifts! I don’t know how big they are, but I have used egg cartons for smaller ornaments. You could also try and use bubble wrap!
How about using the clear plastic apple containers from your local bulk-buy warehouse center. They have a top/bottom and snap hinge closure.
Grandkids board for mother in law, check. recipe cards for sisters, check. button bookmarks for teachers and my aunt, check. You rock!
Glad you could find so many gifts! They will all love them! :)

Fabulous Gift Ideas!! For Every Festival.
Wowww, these are amazing. I want someone to give me all of these this everything. I only like getting gifts, deciding gifts for others is hell of a task.
As it is difficult to decide gifts for Christmas I face lots of problems every year. Last year I gifted salt lamps to some of my friends and they loved it. They can be considered a great, unique gift. I have three salt lamps at my home and I adore them. I bought my salt lamps from Saltean. You can check their website, if you want.
I’m so glad you like these ideas. Thanks for your comment Betty! :)
Thanks for sharing such amazing gift ideas. Well this Christmas season I spent so much time in thinking about gifts but I couldn’t think of anything different. Then I decided to give Himalayan salt lamps as a gift to my loved ones. These lamps are so unique and beautiful. I just love them for myself so I thought that it would be a great thing to give to my loved ones. I got them from ittefaqco.
What a neat gift for your loved ones!
My favorite gift ideas from this list is christmas bucket, christmas mug, & book clips.
I already have made all these.
I also have written about Easy Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas. You can read here- http://www.99merrychristmas.com/easy-homemade-christmas-gift-ideas/
SO glad you found some gift ideas that you like! Thanks for stopping by. :)
Wow! these are some amazing gift ideas. Well thinking about gifts for loved ones is very hectic task. I always try to select such gifts that can be beneficial for others. That’s why, this Christmas I gave a very unique and beneficial thing to my loved ones which is Himalayan salt lamps and tea light holders. These are so beautiful and different. Himalayan salt lamps are said to have health and healing properties as well. So, I thought it would be a great gift idea. You can visit visit the given website of ittefaq.co to know more about these amazing lamps.
Thanks for your great list. I really like Christmas M&M poem gift and leather cuff, Diy leather cases.
