It’s that gift giving time of year again!!!

I love hearing about people’s favorite things — favorite things that people love and give as gifts.

And I am so excited to tell you about something REALLY fun!! 25 creative bloggers have gathered together to share THEIR favorite things in a gift giving guide, and nearly all of the items are under $25! This list can offer a long lasting gift guide to refer back to when you need that special gift, along with links to where you can get them. Sometimes, giving a practical household item is just as exciting as the extravagant gift you are stress-fully looking for, but we also have super cutesy and impractical, too!

I am so excited to share my favorite things, along with these other creative bloggers. Even more fun, is that you have the opportunity to win a gift basket mailed right to your door! Yay!!

Here’s what to do:

  • Check out all of the FUN favorite things in the collage above
  • Scroll to the bottom to see mine up close with details and links of where to buy my favorite items
  • Enter to win my gift basket at the giveaway at the bottom of the post ($100+ value)
  • HOP to all of the other sites to enter to win their gifts!
  • Look around and enjoy the sites of the 25 creative bloggers–they will not disappoint!

1. A copy of Better Homes and Gardens Make it Yourself — with over 60 awesome gifts and instructions on how to make them for everyone on your list this year.

2. Q&A — 365 questions — 5 years — 1,825nswers — 5 year journal. This is such a cool journal. You can see how your answers change over the years. Great idea for a woman or man.

3. Mr Clean Magic Erasers — it really is magic.

4. Haribo Gold-Bears. The perfect texture of gummy bears.

5. Polka Dot Cupcake Stand — perfect little stand to give with a cupcake for a friend or neighbor’s birthday.

6. Sally Hansen Houndstooth Pedicure Nail Polish Strips. So easy to apply and they last a long time. Girls of all ages will love this.

7. Bubble Bracelet in hot pink. I love this color and this bracelet would make a great stocking stuffer.

8. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Foundation — 8-in-one skin perfector. I love this foundation. It makes getting ready really easy. It has sunscreen, primer, brightener and foundation in one. Plus it doesn’t make me break out.

9. Maybelline Touch of Light — Luminizing Face Glow. This is a great product to wear in the winter. It makes your face glow. You can wear it instead of foundation, or over foundation. (sorry I can’t find a link for this one. I bought mine at Walgreens)

10. . I love this color for the holidays. It’s so pretty and sparkly.

11. Maybelline Color Tattoo — Rich Mahogany. I love these eye shadows. They are super sparkly, but they go on with a wet texture, so you don’t have glitter all over your cheeks all day. And they stay on all day long. I think this color is a limited-edition one for the holidays. So pretty.

12. Plus, I am throwing in a little box of my favorite craft supplies — so you can make some handmade gifts for those people on your list. Glitter, paper, embellishments and more!!

Those are a few of my favorite things. And I am so excited to be joining in with 24 other blogs who are also sharing their favorite things and giving them away too.

    I love giving a kitchen gift (like a new cookie sheet) along with some frozen homemade cookie dough to a busy homemaker. My sister in law loves to bake cookies with my nephews, but with their busy sports schedules, they don’t always have the time. I make my cookie dough, shape into logs, double wrap in freezer or parchment paper, tie ends with bakers twine (like a tootsie roll) and write baking instructions on the outside. I keep them frozen until gift giving. If I am traveling I take them in a cooler to make sure they stay frozen.

I was just watching the Golden Girls the other night when I couldn’t fall asleep and it was the episode where Blanche goes on a diet and starts throwing things out and one thing happens to be gummy bears. Rose shouts “NO! Can I have them?” and Blanche says “they are good aren’t they…” and Rose says “Yeah, but I also like to line them up around my bed and pretend I’m in Gulliver’s travels…” or something to that effect. A truly feel good snack. 🙂
