Remember, we are in July and in just a few months it will be Christmas! Yes, it is my favorite holiday. But now is the time I start all my homemade gifts. I always plan on making a bunch of homemade stuff, but life happens and I know starting now helps take the burden off of waiting last minute to get the gifts made. If you're not the crafty type remember now is the time to start shopping. Most places started to clearance items for their fall arrivals. Now that my kids are older I go to the dollar tree and buy my kids stuff for their homes. You can get a bunch of nice things as the Dollar tree has stepped up their game. You can easily get 2-3 gifts for $20. If your kids are younger they have a large amount of ats and crafts and toys that will keep them entertained for hours. I hope this friendly reminder helped. Got any ideas, please leave a comment below! Angie
