Here are some last minute, quick and easy gifts....

With paint pens, decorate any plastic container with flowers, designs, whatever. I made all of the in-laws Rubbermade containers to store their Christmas decoration in. I purchased the containers and with paint pens, decorated the lid only with Christmas decorations such as snowmen, lights, ornaments, etc. For my nieces and nephews, I decorated the lids with their name and what they were interested in, sports, school colors, animals. These are so quick and easy.

Another gift I made for neighbors and hostesses was to purchase plastic containers from the $1 Store. The ones I bought were three, one inside the other. Again, with the paint pens, I decorated one with Happy Holidays and holly, one with Merry Christmas and Christmas boughs and the other said Happy New Year and had a snowman. Inside the containers I placed chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate bark and cookies that I had made. I don't have time to bake so I have an extensive No-bake recipe book that I made. I made my mother-in-law a set of wine glasses by painting flowers and vines on the glasses.

If you have a person on your Christmas list that likes to craft, either print out or write all of your crafts ideas and place in a binder or recipe box. What crafter wouldn't love new ideas?

Have any newlyweds to give a gift to? write out or print out all of your favorite recipes and make them a cookbook. I did this for friends of mine and added little notes on each recipe, like "Grandma's favorite" or "if inviting me over for dinner, double the recipe, I love this".

I figured since I get alot of my ideas from you, I would share some of mine >^..^
