12 Days of Christmas Challenge- Day 6
Day 6: Gift ideas (what do YOU want? We all have family/friends reading our blogs...so let them know!)
I love love homemade things that people put some thought in to, instead of generic.
Last Christmas, I really wanted to make favored Olive Oil. I actually bought all of the ingredients and supplies and I ended up changing my mind. I still think that it would be an awesome gift!
I also love scrapbooks and memory books. Those always can be a good go-to! I also think that making some sort of a pampering item would be fun: like a bath salt or something. Or even some kind of a recipe and make a dry recipe and tell then to just add water, or something like that! These are gifts that I would love!
I look forward to reading about things that you would like/would give!

Flavored olive oil! I would love to make some of that or get some as a gift too! You are just full of great ideas!
I did not even think of food what a great idea.
Homemade gifts are so nice to get! These are great ideas!
flavored olive oil sounds so lovely.!
we are doing lots of homemade gifts this year =) I think they are always so thoughtful!
I've given my husband a few homemade gifts in my time :) For our 6 monthiversary (we don't celebrate Valentine's Day and our 6 month mark is in March so we celebrate that instead) I made him a deck of cards including 52 reasons why I loved him. I punched a hole in each card and attached them to a loose binder ring, and other than pasting my typed reasons on the card I also used stickers to decorate them (hearts, smiley faces, and cats because we love cats).
I also made him a scrapbook of our first year together for our one-year anniversary...
*And* I wrote "our story" (I write. a lot.), typed it and had it bound at Staples. I did the first part (which was about 50 typed 8.5 x 11 pages) for his 29th birthday and the second part (about 40-45 typed 8.5 x 11 pages--all single spaced by the way) for his 30th birthday.
(It helped that we've known each other so long--over 12 years now)
