Feeling like your children are overwhelmed on christmas morning? Me, too! I am excited to take part in the 4 Gifts Changing the Way You Gift blog series hosted by Vintage Sunshine and Sunny with a Chance of Sprinkles!
the 4 gifts
-something they want
-something they need
-something they’ll wear
-something they’ll read
Here’s how it works.. you’ll purchase everyone in your family (those that receive gifts) each 1-3 things (depending on price) in each category. That way, they don’t end up with 4 gazillion new toys, half of which they’ll never even play with after christmas day! and, if they really need clothes, new shoes, etc.. it makes for a great excuse to give them that as one of their gifts.
Here’s where the blog series comes in..
Each thursday (Chelsea, Alyson, me and lots of other bloggers) will be posting gifts ideas for one of the above categories. I’ll be posting gifts for myself, The Texan and The Boy… because I think it’s fun to share many gift giving ideas. Alyson’s birthday is right before christmas, so her list will be extra fun as she’ll be posting gifts for herself. Chelsea will be posting differently each week.. either for her, her daughter, her boyfriend, etc! Every blogger gets to choose who they’ll be posting gift ideas for.
Our goal is for this to be a great way to gather some ideas for gifts this holiday season. I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s ideas and am so hopeful that we can all save some money this christmas and really stick to our budgets.
