What if I told you that you could not only save money on gift wrap, but your wrapping chores could be done in mere seconds as well? It’s simple enough for children to do and the results are beautiful and eco friendly too.

This Snowman Treat Jar makes a cute Christmas gift idea. It comes together in minutes using repurposed materials. I filled an oversized peanut butter jar with inexpensive homemade sweet trail mix. Paint on black buttons, tie on a scarf and you’re done!

Wax-dipped pinecone fire starters make starting a fire easy & they look pretty in a basket. These are for our own use, but they make wonderful, inexpensive and very functional gifts too.

You need a new cutting board so you just buy one, Right? But did you know it’s pretty simple (and very inexpensive) to make an all-natural oak cutting board yourself.
We wanted to make small cheese boards to go with our homemade gifts. Come see how we did it.

Several years ago our children requested no new toys for our grandbabies. They already had way too many toys! So RancherMan & I opted to gift them Experience Gifts instead. The experience gift option has been an absolutely wonderful solution for several years now. And what a win/win too. We get to spend precious time with our grandkids and create MEMORIES with them instead of giving them just another toy.
In past years we’ve taken them Rock Climbing and to a Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course. We’ve taken them to the Ft Worth Stock Show & Rodeo and to Museums. A couple of times we’ve taken them to Live Production Plays – Christmas Story and It’s a Wonderful Life. Each one was so much fun for all of us.
But this year we decided to take them to an escape room. An escape room experience is where you’re placed in a room and you’re challenged to solve the clues one by one to find the key to escape. Come see the fun we had!

RancherMan & I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas filled with all the warmth & joy of the season. Merry Christmas!
