Gift Sunday: Simple and Pretty
Posted by Kristen on November 8th, 2009 at 10:00am
My mom loves to give ornaments to people whose style and personality she may not know like she knows us. Gifts are hard to pick out when you don’t have clear direction. Ornaments are safe gifts because most people can use them, and they generally carry a sentimental value. Every year when you pull out that box of ornaments, the memories of Christmases past will rush back to you.
More special than store-bought ornaments are homemade ones. That extra bit of thought and love in a handmade creation can go a long way. Try your hand at a homemade ornament this year. I happen to love these Mirrored Swirl Ornaments and Marbelous Ornaments that have a colorful, glassy effect. They look expensive, but they’re easy to make. If you’re a knitter, these Mini Mitten Ornaments can be made in bulk and handed out to all your great aunties and in-laws.
My last recommendation for a great ornament gift is one that even the teens will love. This Gift Card Holder Ornament is beautiful and it holds a fun surprise inside. Your family will have to hold themselves back from peeking into this gift before Santa arrives – in fact, you may have to wait til Christmas day to put these out.
Check back next Sunday for more gifting ideas!
