Last Minute Christmas Gift

Queen Bee — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:21:36 +0000

You still have a little time to order some last minute Christmas gifts. If you can’t figure out what to get the remaining people on your list, how about an ugly Christmas sweater inspired graphic tee?

It’s cute, fun and only about $20. Best of all, this gift works for both boy and girls!

Yes, you can really buy this. And if Santa isn’t your thing, try this elf top.

Adorned in Anthropologie

The holiday’s are tough for us students. We’re trying to deal with finals and we have to worry about buying a ton gifts with little time and little money to do so. As for me, I have been looking around for gift ideas and Anthropologie is definitely on my shopping list. Even though it is a pricey store, they have a ton of cute accessories and home decor that are within a student’s budget.

This top is NOT within my budget, but it is really cute and I just had to include it. Curse this expensive taste!

Merry Christmas

May your Christmas be filled with wonderful news,
May your stocking be stuffed with high heeled shoes.
Enjoy your new jeans and dresses and gloves,
But remember it’s not how much you have, it’s how much you’re loved.

Wishing you a very happy holiday!

Sincerely,

Wacky Tacky Christmas

I’m not going to wear anything special on Christmas…just jeans and a top. I know some people have special outfits all planned out – some cute, some not so much. You can always count on someone to wear some horribly tacky crap for the holidays!

I’ve always wanted to go to one of those tacky Christmas sweater parties. Doesn’t that sound fun?

I prefer something more understated, like these cute pearl frosty the snowman earrings!

Last Minute Christmas Wreath

Vintage Rose — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 04:13:55 +0000

I learned this little Christmas recipe in 5th grade. It is great fun, and has a very satisfying result (as long as you make the wreath as thick as possible).

WARNING: lots of material needed. Try and use Christmas colors, but other color schemes work just as well e.g. Black and white. Also using floral and patterned materials add a nice contrast and eye catching Christmas decoration, just make sure the colors don’t clash!

1. Find around 5-10 different materials and cut them into thin strips, about 2.5cm wide and 15 cm long

2. Bend a metal coat hanger so that it creates a circle (or as close to a circle as possible)

3. Tie the strips around the circle of the coat hanger with a typical double knot, trying to make both sides of the knot equal length

4. When you think you have tied enough, think again! Put your hands on either side of the coat hangers hook and try to push all the material downwards, you will find a huge gap, with no material. Start tying again!

5. Once you know you have finished tying, start trimming your wreath like a hedge, evening it out nicely. Try not to trim it too short or else all the ‘fluffiness’ will be gone.

6. Now you can add the final touches, I wrapped thin tinsel around the hook, but a nice red bow would work just as nicely

Tada! A last-minute made, beautiful Christmas wreath!

Mine ended up looking like this (sorry about the horrible photography, it was taken on my phone!) and i get heaps of compliments on it when people come into the house!

Handwritten Happiness

With all the emails and texting going on, holiday etiquette still calls for a handwritten letter. Thank goodness! I love handwritten notes. They are much more special than an e-card. I’ve tried to weed through the cheezy ones and have found some fun cards you might like.

This is a personal favorite of mine. It’s funny because it’s true.

This spooky card is cute too. Frosty the Abominable snowman!

As you can see, I like unconventional and nontraditional cards…like this.

And this one…hehe

From zazzle.com/stlewis75

If you are blessed with artistic talent, you can try creating your own design. But even if your art skills are mediocre (like mine!), you can still come up with something. What do you think of this one I made?

Get it?
