How To Make Mason Jar Gifts

The Mommies Reviews

Charlie and I were working on our Christmas Cards this morning when Charlie mentioned several people, he would like to purchase Gifts for. Later that afternoon I was talking to David, and he mentioned people he had thought of that wasn’t on our Gift Giving list he would like to purchase Gifts for as well. With David and Charlie adding extra people our Gift Giving Budget was blown to smithereens.

This week I’ve been trying to figure out how to budget for these additional Gifts. When I went I online when I came to a post that showed us            “How To Make Mason Jar Gifts“. I showed the post to both David and Charlie and they agreed Mason Jar Gifts would be fun to make as last-minute Gifts. Be watching to see which Gifts we create and who we give them to.

If you’re looking for more Handmade Gifts to make and to give as Christmas Gifts you will also want to check out this post for                                Handmade Gifts in a Jar which is found on Homeschool Giveaways & Freebies and is fast becoming one of my favorite blogs to locate crafts on Charlie and I can create.

If you’re looking for decorations to add to your Christmas Tree you will want to check out “Free Ornament Craft Ideas for Preschool“. Charlie and I will be making the Ornaments while David is at work. Because we want to give these as Gifts to David for Christmas.

I wish you a Fun Filled week with the kids. Come share with Charlie and I what all your doing this week leading up to Christmas.
