WFMW: Holiday Gift Tip {Giveaway}

Congrats to Scene of the Grime, winner of the $75 gift certificate to Show Off Arts!

[suggested theme: share a holiday gift or tip idea]

I finished Christmas shopping months ago….

Please don’t hate me.

I’m so thankful I was able to shop early this year! But let’s not talk about me. Do you still have shopping to do?

Here are my tips this year:

  • Make it-here’s a great list of 30 little gifts you can make
  • Don’t go in debt to buy gifts, be creative
  • Draw family names, because it’s really about the giving, not getting
  • Choose meaningful gifts- like something from Show Off Arts!

I seriously love this faith-based, mom-run art store! Who in your life wouldn’t love to get a gift like this?

Today, link up a post and you’ll be entered to win a $75 gift certificate to Show-Off Arts! Visit Show-Off Arts and leave a comment telling me what you love and you’ll get a second entry!

What works for you during this holiday season?

    Good for you for getting in done. When my kids were little I was able to do it months ahead. Now they are older and it’s not toys it’s things, and from day to day it might not even be the same thing. Anyways, we don’t buy a lot, so it’s not a big deal to work on it now. But I am not going lie, I miss those days.

    Love the canvas tree!! I don’t have a blog, so can’t send you a linky. My WFMW is that our kids each get 3 gifts for Christmas, just like Jesus did. This cuts down on the material madness of the season & keeps our focus on Christ.
    Love your blog!!

    I adore Show Offs, ever since we saw them at Relevant! My favorite is the red one with the plate that says “God is good, God is great…” It would be perfect in my dining room. :)

    Hey Kristen…I know it’s funky title…but I really want to grab everyone’s attention and get them to hop on over and put some BIDS on my rubber stamp sale to benefit The Mercy House. I emailed you on Monday and didn’t hear back from you so just wanted to touch base with you since today is the last day for BIDs.
    Fondly, Roberta
