Help! I need ideas...

[stampin-sunnychick]

I am buying for my gf's for Christmas. There are 7 of us in our Diva Group and we have a limit of $10. I want to find something fabulous or several small fabulous gifts...Any suggestions???

I seriously need help this year...I'm having a hard time getting into the buying spirit. It's so overwhelming with a big family and extended family that I'm just not ready yet...after Turkey Day I will be fer sure!

Ok, back to the HELP!

Are you doing stampin or scrappin gifts? Or something else...can't imagine anyone would want anything else. :)

What about a little something homemade and store bought?

If you have the capability, buy some blank CDs and create a music CD then you could decorate the CD case and add mini lotions all in a gift bag?

I don't know if you have an AC Moore craft store nearby but they have those novelty (holiday) socks. (You may also be able to find something similar at a retail store.)What about a pair of those with some mini lotions?

I'm in love with candles and I found a really good place to get soy candle tarts. http://lemodboutique.com. look for jayceedanielle candles. They are fantastic and a great price plus they last a lonnnnnnngggggg time! And they smell wonderful!

How about a mini coaster/paper bag or Maya Road 4x4 chipboard album - you make the first page telling them what they mean to you, leave the rest blank for them to make. It can be a book of Christmas blessings.....I love that idea :)

ooooh Suzy I really like that idea!

WOW these are great ideas...thanks so much for the help!

Sorry it has been days since I checked this thread but I was a bit busy and then sickly...I'm on the mend now.

Julie- Oh most definitely it will be scrappin/stampin related along with girly (even divalicious).

Suzy your idea is fabulous!

Barb love the candles...that was an idea I had myself but wasn't sure of the best site to shop from. Thanks!

Elaine- Thanks for sharing such great stuff...


I'm thinking now that a combination of all the ideas would be great. Thanks again girls! This definitely helps!

Last year for the girls at work, I made a 6" x 6" card with a pocket on the inside of the card. I made them each a christmas music cd, on the cd's that you can actually write and stamp on! So I put snowflakes and words all stamped with pearlescent brilliance inks. I then put the CD in the pocket of the card. It was a nice presentation. They turned out so nice and everyone seemed to love them! They are all asking what I will come up with this year! lol

Kim, that's a great idea!
