Christmas Trail Mix is a delicious sweet treat made with sugared popcorn with sweet and salty additions such as pretzels, candies, even brightly-colored sweetened cereal.
It’s an easy inexpensive treat for the holidays. I even share a fun way to make it into an inexpensive homemade gift as well.

These repurposed denim coat-pocket-sized hand warmers are perfect for kids or adults alike! And they’re easily made using repurposed denim scraps, long-grain rice and a few drops of essential oil.
A few seconds the microwave and then tucked into coat pockets, they offer comforting warmth on a cold day.

Need a last-minute gift idea? I love these cute snowman gifts that include candy and a new pair of gloves. I like to use one-size-fits-all gloves and a box of candy or larger candy bar. And it’s a fun way to present a cash gift too!
