Holiday Gift Ideas

Just thought I'd share a few holiday gift ideas that are both inexpensive and yet thoughtful. My husband is very big on celebrating the holiday and not making it a material/commercial holiday. It's taken a few years, but I am now to the point that it's not about the perfect gift but about the wonderful moments with family and friends celebrating this special holiday season. Below are just a few of our holiday gift ideas.

Donations to Charity- this is such a wonderful gift idea and with the economy many charities are struggling. This year we are donating money in our parent's name to their favorite charities. Jeff and I are also doing the same for each other, he did this last year for me and it was by far my most treasured gift.

Holiday CD's - go on to iTunes and create your own play list of Christmas music, burn to CD's and you've got a great gift. I plan to make some for my co-workers.

Baked goodies - this is always a great gift, no matter if it's cookies, fudge or mixed nuts.

Homemade ornaments- I've never done this, however, have been on the receiving end and they make a wonderful gift.

Happy Holidays!

J and I decided to each make a donation for one another as well. I did just make quite a donation for the puppy so that may have to be mine! :)

Great gift idea!

And your blog did not make me pass out ;)
