How are you going in getting organised for Christmas? So far I have got all the teachers presents purchased and I have bought our girls their ‘big’ present to share. It’s sitting in the garage, hidden away from mischievous inspecting. This weeks’ Christmas gift guide is for the men in your life. I find them hard to buy for because if they are like my dad, they say they don’t want or need anything. And then if they do need something, they just buy it themselves.
Jacob is always happy with a new release DVD. We often buy a combined gift together and have something little under the tree for each other.
Food and drinking gifts always go down a treat. I haven’t included these in this guide because it’s always up to personal tastes. I like to add something that can be kept with a drink or food gift, so a bottle opener or leather coasters attached to a drink gift, or a wooden chopping board or canister with the food gifts. Last year, I made mini snack bars in a jar. An easy and affordable DIY gift idea.
In this list of gifts, I’ve thought of a number of items that are practical or nice to have. There are also gifts from local small businesses in this mix.
Thank you to those of you who left links or tagged friends to share their business with me. I like to support local businesses where I can and Christmas time is a great time to do it. (if you want to be considered in any future gift guides, please leave a link to your business under my post on Facebook)
