In the last week I had a birthday party AND a cookie exchange — both with a hot chocolate bar. A hot chocolate bar is something you can make for all kinds of winter occasions. It worked well for a kid birthday party, but it would also be a great idea for an adult party like a cookie exchange or even a caroling or ornament party!! All you need to do is change up the toppings!!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Cheap Neighbor Gift Idea/printable

When I went to Walmart yesterday looking for cheap and easy neighbor gift idea for our new home, I found this snowflake covered clear pail in the Christmas aisle.  I instantly fell in love with it.  I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot of ideas using this in the next week since there are so many possibilities for this container, but today I wanted to share a fun and easy idea if you can’t or don’t like to bake.

Elf Kisses Free Printable

After seeing all the cute Elf on a Shelf ideas around blog land lately, I’m wishing I had a fun elf to play with too! But I don’t have one and I’m not sure he’d have too many fun places to hide around the hotel (or maybe he’d actually have TOO many.)So instead, I decided write a fun poem and make you a free printable to have your elf give each child one morning. I hope you don’t mind. I do think it turned out pretty cute. Plus, they are super easy to make. So how can you beat that? Especially since I have 4 different versions for you to try. http://kimskandykreations.blogspot.com/2011/12/elf-kisses-free-printable.html

Offer ends December 10th, just mention Meridian at checkout.The season for giving not only tests our imagination and budget, but can also stretch our inspiration.

Every hour, we’ll post another one of the 12 “days”. Each post will have gift ideas you can use for family, friends, or people you know that are in need. We thought it would be a good idea to help you, help others with their Food Storage this year. http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/2009/12/01/12daysmain/
