Christmas School Gifts

November 26, 2014 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

Christmas in Australia is all about Summer and the sun. (Crazy right!)

When my kids asked for presents for their school friends I just had to try and bring in these sunglasses I got stuck with after a wrong order was sent out to me last year.

I found this cute free printable for “May Your Days Be Merry and Bright” and popped it in with the Sunglasses for a fun gift. You know BRIGHT / SUNGLASSES sure the kids won’t get it but It’s cute and I will get a few aww that’s so clever remarks from the candy cane moms.  Free Printable Merry and Bright labels.

Whilst most parents like to give candy canes with a Christmas card ( pink ones, green ones, strawberry flavoured ones) I personally have an ongoing issue with Candy canes. You see,  candy canes and I are unable to come to an agreement of just how to get the darn things open. I especially detest large candy canes the ones that your kids get half way through then hand you to “hold” and “not lick” until they decide they want it again. Meantime whilst your holding the half eaten candy cane your child’s hands and face has attracted fluff to every drop of stickiness the sugary cane left behind. As you walk around with a candy cane hanging from your mouth ( cause let’s face it there really is nowhere else to hold it) everyone is wondering why your child has a moustache made of what could only be described as butt fluff.

Last year we handed out Christmas pencils cause it was Prep and school supplies were still cool. What are you going to give your kids to hand out to their school friends  this year?

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
