FRIDAY FAVORITES..CHRISTMAS IS MAGIC EDITION

Are the bells a shaken in your neck of the woods? Is the excitement of the Christmas day, birth of our baby Jesus growing even more anticipated? Or are you stressing out big time? I’m pretty much under control. Just a few more things to get and wrap but I sure got my baking on big time this week and all my baby boys are home! Hoping to do all things festive, magical and as in magical, I mean make a dozen cookies disappear in my mouth, lol! Fill up on the Christmas cheer this weekend! 


1. Kelly Clarkson and Pentatonix
NBC aired a Pentatonix special Monday night and Kelly Clarkson guest starred to sing My Grownup Christmas Wish with them and it was AMAZING! I have always loved both of them and their voices are pure magic!

2. Holiday Gift Find ~ Mini Games
Besides the usual clothes, electronics, gift cards, etc, I like to get the kids some fun little things. I recently discovered these tiny desk top games and they are so cute and all like $8.

A couple of these recipes I have shared on the blog of the goodies that are on this tray and next week comes one I cannot believe I’ve never shared which is the sweepstakes winning peanut butter fudge!

They are having 40% off until the end if he season, so I am going to have to mosey on over there as it is less than 10 minutes form my house and I love adding to this growing décor collection!

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. 
BUY HERE

Here is another fun way to give money...a maze. We have done this for all the boys and our nephew. So fun!
BUY HERE

On yeah, these are da "bomb!" Right up here with Lush but not as expensive! Such pretty packaging, cool names and leaves your skin feeling very hydrated they smell AMAZING!!!
BUY HERE

How fun is this!! Yep, put these in the boy's stockings one year and they thought it was so cool to eat Astronaut food!! Love these pouches! 
BUY HERE

NUTS! Gotta have a fun bowl for nuts! Especially at Holiday gatherings! I love rodents, not in my house of course, but a squirrel nut bowl...YES!!! 
BUY HERE

Ok, ok, this is a gift for me. But I love balls, pom poms, whatever you what to call them. And these blankets are the SOFTEST evah!!! Comes in Ivory too! 
BUY HERE

Yeah, not gonna lie, I have this hat too. See it HERE. It's under $10 and the perfect amount of slouch with the cutest buttons! Lots of pretty colors!! 
BUY HERE

There is a reason these are a best seller and under $10 is so good for a stocking too. My husband and sons all have these and love them. They use them for everything and I have been known to put my hands in a pair to carry something heavy or tote around dirt, lol! 

BUY HERE

Mr. Nine got me an I LOVE YOU Morse Code necklace last year and I love it. You can get all kinds of different sentiments and a very quality product. Such a sweet and unusual gift idea. Morse code is cool! 
BUY HERE

There you have it , 
"Nine" (of course) awesome gift ideas in addition to a cool way to give mula. 
Happy Shopping!!
