Here's a few gift ideas for ya! Cellophane bag queen here again! I love these ideas!!! This is for Mrs Rene' and Mrs Brittany. Mrs Rene' and Mrs Brittany are our speech teachers. Will is 2.5 and does NOT want to use his words! They are in there- Ive heard them! LOL :-) Anyway - the key to these lil bag gifts are finding one cute, unique item that pertains to the receiver... For example - the ones I made for church had cards with scripture on them and the 'recipe for a christian.' I found these cute journals for speech therapy. I thought they would be perfect! Toss in some candy and some handmade cards (close up below) and a cool Christmas pen (for the journals) and there you go!

Here are some other gift ideas...

• Find some old tea towels (or new ones) arrange in a mixing bowl and toss in some brownie mixes or muffin mixes. Add a mixing spoon, maybe a recipe book, and a spatula!
• Ice cream lovers: find some cutsie sundae dishes (cheap & cute glass one at dollar store!) an ice cream scoop, some chocolate syrup, a jar of maraschino cherries, nuts, etc.. and put in a cute kitchen basket!
• Same thing for soups: Find some big thick soup bowls and some big soup spoons, jiffy cornbread mixes, crackers, and either cans of soup or soup mixes!
• Make a family's night with a bag of $5.00 games from Walmart or the dollar store, some DVDS, popcorn, and a blanket! Dont forget vintage sodas or cocoa packets!
• Cookies in a jar or soups in a jar are always fun to give! Kids love to help with this effort because of the layering! Its FUN!
• Just b/c its winter doesnt mean you cant give a gardener something they'll love! Now is a great time to buy and plant bulbs! Find a potting planter with gloves and dowels and bulbs!!! and dont forget some seed packets!
• When you give gifts like these (cookies, cheeses, and small items- be creative with the container.. use a metal pail, use a kictehn tote, use a wooden crate, a mitten, a wagon, a santa hat or stocking, a big cook pot with lid, a cast iron skillet, a cowboy hat, a teapot, cake pans, use anything they can re-use and out of the ordinary!

Computer whiz....- buy a pack of paper and stick all kinds of office supplies on top- burnable CDs, ink cartridges, etc.. Let me know any UNIQUE gift ideas you are giving this year!
