Three days until Christmas!! On a scale of happy and merry to panic, where are you in your preparations? I'm not quite finished, but it doesn't seem to be bothering me as much this year as in Christmases past. I must be dialed in to that peace on earth thing. ;)
We had our Christmas party for our church girls' group last night, and it went alright. Anarchy and chaos, especially with my lost voice, but still a good time. The club that I teach has between 10-12 girls every week, and we wanted to give them something special for Christmas. Special, but not too expensive (let's face it... $10 per girl for 12 girls adds up very quickly!) So we came up with these spa baskets. Perfect, really, since two months ago we had a spa night, and the girls loved it.
Most of the items in the baskets were from the dollar store (manicure set, lotion, bath roses, loofahs, and beauty blotters.) We did find good deals on nail polish and lip glosses at Party City, and in the end, we spent roughly $6 per girl, and the baskets were far nicer than anything we found online or in the other stores. I wrapped them in tissue paper, then cellophane, so they looked much more professional than they actually were (oops - forgot to take a picture of the wrapped baskets.)I tried to make the baskets color-themed (like blue and pink, or pink and purple, etc), and then the girls traded the items they received with each other for the colors they wanted. They all loved them (one girl said, "Yes! I got lady things!") What great gift ideas do you have that are also budget-friendly?
Happy December 22nd!
