I love the idea of handmade gifts for Christmas, especially when you get the kids involved. Unfortunately, my kids are still a little young to make something worth giving…unless you’re into painted rocks and sticks that resemble swords. Something I’ve done for the past couple of years (an idea I stole from Courtney) is to make a calendar on Shutterfly for both sets of grandparents. It’s really fun to use pictures that correspond to the month—Halloween pictures in October, beach pictures in August, etc. That way, the following year you can see how much your little ones have changed. The grandparents always seem to like it, too. Another great and easy Shutterfly idea is to do a photo book of favorite pictures throughout the year. Or how about a small brag book for grandma to carry in her purse and show all her friends? And once you’ve finished creating gifts for your family (and yourself), you can place an order for Christmas cards. They have several new options this year and they are super cute. Check it out!
Something you could do for yourself after the holidays are over is to create a Christmas photo book just for your family. It is an easy way to document this most wonderful time of the year and when your kids are older it will be fun to look through each book and remember all those great Christmas mornings!
