It's seven weeks until Christmas and although it seems we have a lot of time to prepare for family, guests, shopping and wrapping it is more closer than what we think. I have came up with a list of ideas to help prepare you and easy diy gifts to give without breaking the bank!
Wrapping station
For small spaces use the closet and back of a closet door. Hang a plastic shoe organizer on the back of your closet door. Feel the compartments up with scissors, Christmas bows, ribbons, gift tags and some gift bags. Use a DT (dollar tree) waste basket and place inside your closet now add your wrapping paper, tissue paper and lager bags.
Refresh your home
Instead of buying Febreze make your own. You might alright have the things on hand to make it. You need a spray bottle, two part water and one part fabric softener. Shake well and light spray where needed. You may also use candles and incense.
Extra beds
When you have more guests than expected and the rooms are full use air beds or camping cots.
Christmas Cards
Instead of taking professional photo for your Christmas cards. Dress up you and your family and have a friend or family take candid pictures, pick the best one print them off and add them in a Christmas card.
Gifts
In the following video is a gift for less than $9.00 yes you read it right! In the video are example for women and children.
Diy Mani and Pedi Gift Set
This is a $5.00 gift!
Fill a small mason jar with nail polish, files, mini bottle nail polish remover and mani/pedi set from DT.

For Men
Buy a pack of t-shirts, socks and razors divide them up evenly place them in a dollar tree basket. Now add soap, deodorant, shaving cream and snacks. Most of these items can be found at dollar tree and you can check your local flea market which sells eight packs of socks for $5.00.
Pamper Me Gift Basket
In a DT basket add razors, shaving cream, bath salts, bubble bath &/or shower gel, a candle and chocolate candy.
If your family loves jewelry $5 Paparazzi jewelry it's the way to go.
Gift for Readers
DT have many books to choose from. This will be a great gift for book lovers. I would suggest get more than one.
Preparing Food
Some foods can be prepared the night before so take advantage of that. Prep an cook early so that you can spend time with your family.
I hope this post helped you in some way.
