Some Early Christmas Gifts


Hello Friend,

Let's talk about Christmas gifts. We have a large family, sometimes we only get them each four small gifts, something they need, something to wear, something to read and something they want. But, 4 x 8 kids is 32! That's a lot of gifts to spend money on and get ready for!

We also buy gifts for our son-in-law and other family members, plus several of us need white elephant gifts for Christmas parties too. My husband and I buy each other a few gifts as well. With our kids, we have them draw names so they each buy for one sibling. We pay for that gift until they turn 18.

We start opening gifts early on Christmas morning and one person opens a gift at a time, starting with the youngest through oldest and repeat until all the gifts have been opened. We take breaks to play with some gifts, eat, so the whole process takes more than a few hours. We love it!

All that to say - October is when we really start looking for gifts. This way we have three months to help spread out budgeting. If you are like us, here are some gift ideas...

Hello Friend, I just signed up to sell at a local craft show. It's been a few years since I have done this. I can not believe how much it costs to have a space at a craft sale! I had to pay $125 to have a space to hold three 8 foot tables! Now I remember why I love selling on Etsy! At the same time of year in 2018, I did a Craft Show that I paid $45 for a space at, but I did not even make my table fee! I put the products back on Etsy and got a sale for $48 worth of product within hours. My...
