Last Minute Gifts

Despite starting to plan and make Christmas gifts back in September, I am still sitting here waiting for a few to arrive and waiting for a certain someone to decide what to get his certain family members… basically if they don’t get gifts this Christmas they can blame him because I tried.

If you are still looking for last minute gifts here are two that I highly recommend. They take only a couple minutes to make and since they use the same ingredients it makes them so much easier to make.

The first is HomemadeChapstick  from The Elliott Homestead. These where a huge hit last year and are now my favorite chapstick.

The second is SuperEasy Hard Lotion Bars from Laurie Neverman. They are the most amazing things! I have super dry hands that crack in the winter and no store bought lotion has ever been able to heal them, these lotion bars did!!

If you are a super fast knitter you could also knit up some washcloths and throw in a nice bar of soap (its way too late to make your own) and you have a spa basket. I did that last year for some of my friends and they really seemed to enjoy it.

Or you could settle and write a sweet card and tell the person what they mean to you and say you are moving away from materialistic things… they don’t have to know you ran out of time, and it the note is sweet enough they shouldn’t care.

Good luck, God Bless and a very Merry Christmas!
