Here are some adorable Christmas gift ideas that will be affordable, adorable, and festive.
Christmas Gifts for Teachers & Tutors
Truly great teachers deserve some special recognition for their hard work and dedication. Show your appreciation at Christmas or anytime with a homemade cookie jar. Simply choose a glass jar with lid and fill it with your choice of ready to eat cookies or layered cookie mix. Attach a label that says, “You are one smart cookie!” and tie a festive ribbon around the neck of the jar.
This is also a wonderful gift for someone in a nursing home, although a plastic jar is recommended for safety reasons. Christmas Gifts for Bartenders & Neighbours
If you have a favorite bartender or waitress who always treats you like a king or queen, consider this simple gift that they will enjoy this Holiday season. Using a glass canning jar, fill the bottom half with dry cocoa mix and the top half with mini marshmallows. With festive ribbon, tie a bow around the neck of the jar and attach a miniature crème liqueur bottle for the perfect Christmas gift. Choose from Bailey’s Irish Crème, Godiva, Guylian, Carolans or any that will pair well with the delicious taste of hot cocoa.
Christmas Gifts for Bus Drivers & Postal Workers
These hard working definitely deserve a nice gift to remind them how much we appreciate their dedication and efforts. For a great Christmas gift with almost no fuss, buy a six pack beer and affix a big Christmas ribbon and homemade gift tag with the words, “You’re an awsome Bus Driver” or whichever title fits your needs. Finish the gift by attaching a delicious bag of candies and viola… a wonderful and inexpensive gift. This Christmas gift is also wonderful for your child’s best friend.
Christmas Gifts for Beauticians and Housekeepers
This is a wonderful Christmas gift idea for those on your list whose hands and nails could use a little spoiling. Choose an attractive glass jar and fill it with lotion, nail polish, cotton balls, nail polish remover, emery boards, and all the goodies necessary for a luxurious manicure. Tie festive Christmas ribbon around the neck and affix a special bow for the top for a sweet treat - a Manicure in a Jar.
Christmas Gifts for Your Favourite Cook or Neighbour
For a quick and simple gift that will bring Christmas Cheer, purchase a wire egg beater and some Hershey’s Kisses. Tie some beautiful Christmas ribbon around the handle of the beater and put the chocolate kisses into a clear plastic bag. Carefully ease the bag of kisses into the center of the beater. Another option is to add the candy to the center of the beaters and put the entire beater inside a clear cellophane bag and tie with a festive ribbon. Affix a gift tag which says, “We wish you a Merry Kiss-mas!” For a personal touch, I recommend attaching a special cookie recipe which calls for Hershey’s Kisses. Not only good for cooks or neighbors, this Christmas gift is appropriate for just about anyone.
Christmas is an opportunity to be creative and discover new ways to save money while appreciating everyone who makes life just a bit more enjoyable. These gifts can be altered to suit just about anyone on your Holiday list.
