For Him

It is true what they say. You can’t go wrong with some home-baked goodies. Show any guy that you are thinking of him over the holidays by baking your favorite sweet treat and putting it in a great holiday package. Your local craft store or dollar store will have plenty of packaging options. Festive tins, boxes, and plastic bags will turn your baked goods into a generous gift.

For Her

What girl doesn’t love to get pampered? Around the holidays ladies are busy taking care of everyone around them. Give them the opportunity to take care of themselves by giving them a bag of personal beauty products. Manicure gift sets, home facial gift sets and bubble bath sets are sue to be a hit. The best part of about these packages is that the items can be quickly purchased at your grocery store. Any time you see beauty items on sale go ahead and stock up and put them aside for a rainy day present.

For the Neighbors

Do you have the kind of neighbors that knock on the door for a cup of flour or that you can call when you have used the last of your milk? Repay them for all the little things they have done for you all year long. Take a quick trip to the grocery store. Purchase a mixing bowl and fill it with a bag of flour, bag of sugar, bag of brown sugar, bottle of vanilla extract, or any other baking goodies that are on sale.

It is inevitable around the holidays that you will run out of something and your neighbors will love the stockpile. As a variation on this, share your favorite holiday recipe and fill the bowl with all the ingredients needed to make it.

For the Family

The holidays are all about family. Help a family you know come together by providing them with a quick craft package. Build a basket around a package of ball ornaments. Add some vinyl letter stickers, thin ribbon, glue, glitter, and an instruction sheet on how to make personalized ornaments for the tree. A little tip, write out the first names of every member of the family and count how many of each letter you will need. Make sure to get enough letter stickers and ornaments for each member of the family.
