FUN GIFT IDEAS...INCLUDING MONEY & CHOCOLATE

Cha Ching! Let's get holiday shopping real here! Some of you have no trouble whatsoever shopping for your family and friends but for some of you, it's just plain tough! I'm going to make it easier for you today by sharing with you some great gift ideas and things that I've actually bought people and that they actually loved, LOL! 

First of all, show me the money! Yep, all preteens and teenagers truly want is the cash! However, there is no way I am just handing over the dough or throwing it in a stocking, it must be presented in a fun, cute, surprising effect way!

 Last year I showed you my Candy and Money Jars that we had given the boys and our niece and nephew the year before. For their Christmas money gift last year I included chocolate and man, was this ever a huge hit! Let me explain, with two being in college, we wanted to Up the ante a bit so at Walmart, I bought these 2 tiered tin boxes of candy from Whitman's. The tins were to celebrate the 175 years of the chocolate, so Yep you guessed it; each boy was getting $175. Wow, I know! What I did was, I lifted up the the top tier of chocolate so that's all they thought they would get. I folded up the money, took the bottom tier chocolates out and put the mula in the  chocolate holders in the bottom. I was so excited to see the looks on their faces when they opened them because they truly thought it was just a box of chocolates!

OK, here are some wonderful and fun gifts you can buy the people you love and I bet you'll see a big smile on their faces. Of course you've got to get the Chalet Socks I posted Friday! 
These are not just random gifts I linked up but actual stuff I have given and received! 

Personalized Peanut Butter Spoon
I got one of the for one son a few years ago and it was such a huge hit, I went back to Etsy and got more. Pretty cool to have your own spoon to dig into the jar with and I like to give an actual jar of PB with it as well.
