I won’t take all or even most of the credit for this post.
Whenever I have drawn a blank for what to get someone as a git for any occasion, my sister Rachel is my 911.
You name the person, she shoots out an absolutely perfect present immediately It’s weird, but I don’t ask questions. Some people just have a gift for giving gifts.
No doubt her gift should be shared with you all, so here is what we came up with.
THE BEST EVER GIFT FOR…..
Your Mom or Mom-In-Law:
This is a perfect gift because it is personalized and heartfelt + plus women love jewelry, duh.
These are handmade so they are all unique and gorgeous. You can get them with all kinds of different charms and have them say pretty much anything. Or just have names or initials. I bought one for my Mother In-Law with all of her grandchildren’s names on different discs. She loved it. enter maskcara at checkout and order before November 30th to get 20% off!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO WIN ONE?
Enter by: liking their facebook page HERE and subscribing to my blog (if you haven’t already:) Either on bloglovin’ HERE or by email over there —–>
then comment on the post to let me know you are in it to win it. (but you don’t have to say “I’m in it to win it.” cause that would be so uncool.)
A TEENAGER
If you can’t afford an ipad you probably have no idea what to buy your niece, nephew or whatever teenager you may be Santa Clausing this year.
I mean chances are the most you know about them is what the top of their head looks like hovering over the keypad on their phone.
Seriously though, if I could text that fast I’d probably show off my skills as often as possible, too.
Even with that wee amount of info you know this: they want to smell good.
Everyone wants to smell good.
But how do you pick out a scent for them? Well, guess what!? you don’t have to.
I present this:
It’s a sampler of a bunch of Sephora’s most popular scents. Here’s the best part! There’s a voucher included so once they have picked their personal favorite from the
try-outs they can go in and pick up a full sizer.
SISTER/FRIEND
I LOVE these frames! They are a PERFECT gift for any mother or grand mother!
They have a slot on the top so that anything you want to display can be dropped in and switched out often.
This cute little video explains it better than I could.
If I gave it to someone I would probably have it pre-loaded with drawing from their kids or if I gave it to my parents I’d have a drawing from my kids.
Total hit.
WANNA WIN ONE OF THESE!?
Like these guys on Facebook HERE & just in case you haven’t already be sure to like my maskcara page as well
you can do it in one click over there——>
Then comment to let me know you did.
We are giving away 3 so your chances of winning are good!
A WHOLE FAMILY
Since my clan is GIGANTIC, we don’t draw names, we draw families.
Often a tough order to fill, how to please everyone at once?
This year I found just the ticket!
AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS
the board game
Remember that website that had you rolling for hours? (if not, where have you been? click here and get ready for some hearty belly laughs)
Well, now it’s a board game.
Apples to Apples just got sent to the back of the game closet, my friends.
(Celeste! I swear I am totally not even getting this for you guys…at all)
Daddy-o
If your dad is getting as old as mine is, he REALLY needs this!
Click & Dig
It’s a clicker that finds your keys within 100 feet!
Awesome, but knowing me, I’d lose the clicker.
