Last minute thrifty Christmas gift ideas

Tight budget, lots of friends and Christmas around the corner? Sounds like Mission Impossible.

Gift giving should be fun and not so stressful so here are a few ideas for last minuet, inexpensive thoughtful gift ideas to give to friends.

1. Affirmation Mirror- You will need a $1 store Mirror, stencils, stickers or magic markers and ribbon to match mirror. Choose a word you want the recipient to see daily when they look in the mirror. Then use the stickers, or use stencils with your magic markers and write the words you have chosen. Then tie the matching mirror and Walah! Cute, thoughtful idea that will make someone feel good every time they look in it. Words you can use for mirror are:
  • Kind
  • Strong
  • Beautiful
  • Lookin Good
  • You look might fine
  • Lookin Sharp
  • You're worth it
  • You can do it
  • Awesomeness
2. Mix CD- Pick some songs that have a personal meaning for both of you. They can be funny, sentimental or just plain fun. On the Cd cover put a picture of you and your friend and on the inside cover of your cd write a little something for each song telling why you chose it

3. Buy your friends favorite soda or candy bar and make a treasure hunt with little clues leading to where they can find it.

4. Make a dream catcher

5.Make Duct tape bows. Check out tipjunkie for how to make duct tape bows.
6. Make a paperbag album such as this
See how to make this cute album here. A different version of this could be to decorate a spiral  notebook cover.

7. A funny gag type gift could be some Christmas poops. It's candy with a fun little poem explaining what your baggie is. This is soooo  hilariaous. Check out the Santa poop. This is my favorite. Click here for the poems and candy to use.
8. How about at the $1 store you can buy a cute mug and fill it with your friends favorite candies and tie a cute ribbon with a nice little note.

9. Crazy socks. Wouldn't that be fun to give your friend some totally strange and crazy socks?

10. Make a mustache pillow case. Buy a pillow case from the store and then download a picture of a funny mustache, blow the picture up, cut it out and trace it on the pillowcase. Then use markers or paints and color it in. Then you have a cute mustache pillow.

Hope a few of these suggestions help. How about you, do you have any great ideas to share???

Friends














When you choose the company you keep, you choose the messages of life you will hear, which means you choose your future!

Awesome Date (One of....I don't know...many)

This seems like fun something to do as a date activity. Paint pottery, mugs, rocks, cups,the cheap slightly weird looking animals you get in the craft section at Wal-Mart. just get some of this kind of stuff together and paint it.

Keeping with this same theme(only slightly but mostly not really) have a date before hand or already have painted a picture on something you can break.
break this breakable object... (it looked pretty awesomely fun to do.)
Then assemble it like a puzzle and put it back together or make a mosaic.

Where's the Line to See Jesus



Love this song sung by Beckey Kelly a Christian singer. The song was inspired by her nephew who was waiting in the line to see Santa and asked where the line was to see Jesus. Then Beckeys father decided to write a song. Becky sang it last year and they put it on youtube getting a ton of hits. Check out her website at http://wheresthelinetoseejesus.com/.

Beckeys father says " Hopefully Spencer's observation and our song will cause people to reflect on the love of Jesus, and the certainty that one day we will all stand in line to see Jesus.”

I challenge everyone to remember today and the rest of the year to reflect on that love Jesus has for us and we should have for him and let that guide our actions the rest of this 2011 year!

Best Idea Ever!!

Want to do something really strange, fun and simple??  Get a refrigerator, tv  or a large box from Costcos. If you ask nicely they will gladly give you a box. Then make it look like a car. Deck it out and make it the best looking car you have seen, your dream car.Then walk through to the drive-thru at McDonald's...see if they take your order....because apparently they can't take orders from people who don't have a car....if it works email us!!! take pictures!!! i think it would be so funny and an absolutely unforgettable date.

Here are 2 examples of cars you can try. A really cool and simple car. Here's your chance to have any kinda car you want.

Really cool Car
Simplified Car
This activity/date ranks eight out of ten on the hilarity scale.

Don't get too crazy in your new car, always remember to drive safe!!!

People of Wal-Mart Bingo Date

Bingo is a great ice breaker for a first date or any date because it’s so easy to customize for your particular group and situation, and everyone knows how to play it.


For this Bingo start by given everyone a copy of a blank Bingo card and then make a list of outrageous things or people on the bingo card ( such as find someone with a mullet, scrunchy, spandex, etc) Remember to be nice :)

Give them a set amount of time (10-15 minutes) to walk around Wal-Mart trying to find people sporting the items on your cards. To win you must have the squares marked off in the pattern you decided for the group. (Ex. 5 in a row, blackout, in square formation, etc)


loser (sorry that's a not nice word) the not winner has to buy ice cream.


Feel free to print our suggested bingo or our blank bingo card. http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/3350187/people-of-bingo-doc-december-12-2011-5-23-pm-58k?da=y

A Fun Date/Party Game

This game is called bagock (as in the sound a chicken makes. the lame name for this game is the question game)


How to Play:

(the bigger the group the funner this is)

make sure everyone can see each others eyes

then someone starts asking questions...you cant repeat the same question one right after the other...but then it's boring.(my best question was "can I lick your toe?") the whole point of this game is to keep the questions going. if you accidentally answer the question or can't think of one or laugh; you have to run around the circle of people flapping your arms like a chicken and say 'bagock!' this is such a fun game...we played it for hours on end.
