Are you looking for a gift that someone would love?  I found this cute idea at The Princess and the Tot.  It is “365 Things We Love About You!” It is a jar filled with things you love about the person you are giving it to.  20This could be made for any parent, child, spouse or other loved one. 

Wouldn’t you love to get this gift?  I love that it is very inexpensive but would probably be the receivers favorite present.  I think it would make any ones day a bit brighter.  Can you imagine starting the day reading that someone thinks you are special and not just at Christmas, Mothers Day or your Birthday but every day!

You can find the easy directions at  HERE at The Princess and the Tot.  Who would you make this for?  I am thinking of doing it for Rex or maybe for one of my sisters.  Rex loved when I did a present a day for a week during his Birthday week.  So I know he would love this! I know lots of people would love it!

Who would you make this for? What are some of the things you love about that person?

I am horrible at wrapping Christmas presents.  My problem starts from cutting the paper to taping the paper together.  When I get done it looks like a 3 year wrapped the present.  So I love who ever created the gift bags and the Dollar Store where I can get them from.   DIY-Christmas-Burlap-Gift-Bags-with-livelaughrowe.com_

Since I can’t wrap a present and have it look nice I am always on the look out for cute wrapping ideas.  For small gifts I found this cute DIY Christmas Burlap Gift Bags.  I love the tree and the bell on them.

I found the gift bags at Live Laugh and Rowe.  There are step by step directions along with pictures on how to make these cute little bags.  You can find the directions HERE.

Do you like wrapping presents? Or are you like me and look for any way to get out of wrapping something?  Let me know if you have any cute ideas I would love to share them!

I found this really cute Tree Garland to crochet.  I found the pictures at Meli Melum!  Then I found a really great tutorial  at  The Royal Sisters.  Each step has some great pictures. The steps are easy to follow.e1697-tree

I think this is a great project to do with your left over yarn bits.  It would looks so cute on a fireplace if I had one.  I have a niece who just started to crochet and I bet she would love this pattern.

When going to The Royal Sisters you will find patterns for including a heart and a star.

It is small enough to fit into my purse so I always have it handy. You can even carry it in your pocket with no discomfort.  A couple weeks ago I was going out after work and my phone was almost dead so I used my LIFEGUARD MINI 1 and I was good to go for the rest of the night. I couldn’t believe how fast it charged my phone.

The LIFEGUARD MINI 1 is compatible for the following devices:

Apple iPhones 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, 4 and iPods
HTC: Oce X, S, V/Sensation XE XL/EVO 4G/Radar 4G/Inspire 4G/ThunderBolt
SAMSUNG: Galaxy S5, S4, S3, S2, Note 2 S2, Nexus, Galaxy Note, Focus S, Infuse
Google: Nexus 5, 4, Google Glass
Motorola: Droid Razr, Bionic, Atrix 2, Triumph.
Amazon: Fire Phone
Other cell phones, MP3. MP4, digital camera, and other with DC 5V input

The LIFEGUARD MINI 1 cames with a 5.91IN Apple compatible lightning cable for free.  The charger can be recharged more than 800 times.  I think this is one of the most useful items I have received.  If you would like to purchase your own LIFEGUARD MINI 1 portable charger you can do so on the link below from Amazon.com.

This silky smooth formula is loaded with antioxidants Vitamin C and Green Tea to promote collagen production and protect your skin from UV damage.

What I found with Morea Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum With Vitamin C + Green Tea  is that it hydrates my skin to help plump fine lines while it reducing the appearance of wrinkles with extended use.  It is safe for all skin types even sensitive skin.

This serum is also paraben free, 72 % organic and cruelty free.  I really like that the bottle has an airless pump which helps keep the ingredients potent, which also helps  the ingredients from spoiling.  Morea Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum With Vitamin C + Green Tea is also made here in the USA in small quantities.  It also passes many rigorous standards so that it can be sold at Whole Foods.

What is your family looking for this year as a Christmas gift?  Rex and I went into Best Buy the other day trying to get some ideas for Christmas gifts and the sales person helping us mentioned the LG OLED TV.  Rex wanted to see what it was all about and it is pretty amazing.

It is LG’s new technology, the LG OLED TV, featuring picture quality including  Infinite contrast ratio and stunning color that delivers a greater sense of realism and depth, enhanced color range and accuracy, super thin design and the intuitive webOS™Smart TV interface that lets you find content faster.  Best  Buy’s everyday price is $3499.99 (save $500).  This certainly would be a great gift.  Think how envious everyone would be of your home theater with this LG OLED TV.  Not sure this will be under out tree this year with living in an apartment but it is something we would love!

Cranberry Bluff Book Blast – this looks like a great book. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway at the end of the post.

Cranberry Bluff

Cranberry Bluff by Deborah Garner

Molly Elliott’s quiet life in Tallahassee, Florida, is disrupted when routine errands land her in the wrong place at the wrong time: the middle of a bank robbery. Accused and cleared of the crime, she flees both media attention and mysterious, threatening notes, to move across the country to Cranberry Cove, where she has inherited her Aunt Maggie’s bed and breakfast on the Northern California coast. Her new beginning is peaceful – that is, until five guests show up at the inn for a weekend, each with a hidden agenda.

Mix together one blushing honeymoon couple, one flamboyant boutique owner, a deadpan traveling salesman, and a charmingly handsome novelist, and there’s more than scones cooking at Cranberry Cottage Bed and Breakfast. As true motives become apparent, will Molly’s past come back to haunt her or will she finally be able to leave it behind?

Do you remember making ornaments for the Christmas Tree when you were younger?  I remember one year my sister Diane made all of these really eye catching ornaments on felt with lots of sequins.  She spent a lot of time making them.  I have an easy Christmas ornament to make that would be great for your kids to do.  They don’t take much time and they are so cute.

EasysnowmanornamentAren’t these the cutest snowman?  I love snowman ~ that is probably because I live in Portland, Oregon and we don’t get much snow.  My family is back in Wisconsin and they are already dealing with the cold and snow.  They maybe even have a snowman built in their backyard.

These cute ornaments are made with acrylic paint, ribbon and a baby food jar.   These would look cute hanging on a tree or maybe hanging in the window.  I think they would be great for small gifts to be hide inside!

This idea was from Crazy Little Projects and you can find the directions HERE.

Are you looking for the perfect athletic shoe for someone on your Christmas List?  You will want to take a look at Therafit.  Therafit is committed to making the most fashionable, comfortable sneakers and sandals for all hours of a woman’s day. With shock absorbing insoles, breathable materials and amazing arch support, Therafit will be your go-to shoe for any season.

I have a number of pairs of shoes from Therafit I recently have been suffering from plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a stretching of the plantar fascia, a ligament that runs from the ball of the foot through the arch and is connected to the heel. It is that attachment which becomes aggravated and typically causes pain after being on your feet for long lengths of time.

My doctor said that there are a couple things I can do to help the pain – first was to wear shoes that fit properly.  I found that wearing Therafit shoes really  helps.  They have  Personal Comfort Adapters which are found in the heel area you can insert or remove them and that adjust the impact resistance of each step.  Wearing the right shoe can help not only foot pain but knee, leg and back pain.

Therafit has a big line of shoes including athletic shoes, casual shoes, uniform shoes, walking shoes and sandals.  I am sure you could find something you like for yourself or as a gift.  Make sure you check out my giveaway ~ your choice of Therafit shoe.  You can go HERE to enter.
