Easy Christmas Gifts

Glad you’re here! This week, collect quick and easy Christmas gift ideas that are sure to please. These inexpensive, but thoughtful gifts make a great addition to a gift card, or can stand alone for a sweet little something to show you’re thinking of someone. These are perfect for classroom friends, the dance teacher, piano teacher, and all the others that you want to remember during the holidays, without breaking the bank.

Easy to Make Cupcake Christmas Gift

We’re giving these sweet and easy Christmas gifts to the girls in dance class. We’re giving one to the dance teacher too, with a gift card to a local coffee shop tied on with the tag.

For each easy Christmas Cupcake gift, you’ll need…

A classic ice cream glass

Shredded tissue paper

A pretty cupcake wrapper

A cupcake

A striped straw

A maraschino cherry

A clear cellophane bag large enough to enclose the glass

Ribbon and a tag to tie the bag closed

Place the ice cream glass into the cellophane bag. Fill the bottom of the glass with shredded tissue paper, and drop a skirted cupcake with a cherry on top into the glass. Tuck the paper straw in, next to the cupcake, and tie the top of the bag closed with the ribbon. Add a gift tag, and it’s a stunningly sweet and easy Christmas gift for under $5!

Be merry!

Red and Green Christmas

To wrap up our series on Christmas color inspiration today, we end on a jolly note of tradition. The quintessential Christmas color palette has to be red and green. While it’s fun to change it up from time to time with a trendy, flirty, or cozy color palette, we find ourselves revisiting the red and green quite often.

Brown and Red Christmas

Rustic brown accompanied by a vibrant red creates a relaxed, but festive look in your home for the holidays. Decorations in brown and red are a snap! There are just so many choices! Think pinecones, twigs, and berries, mixed with glossy red, glass ornaments. Effortlessly lovely!

Brown and Red Christmas Gift Wrapping

We love tea towels. They make great gifts, but also make gifts great, by becoming a lovely, reusable gift wrap. Things for Boys gives a step-by-step tutorial on wrapping with a tea towel.

Textured, coppery brown wrapping paper keeps with the color scheme, but adds some sparkle to the gifts. We topped this gift with a simple bundle of twigs and berries, tied with brown ric rac.
