***DIY GIFT IDEA*** THE GIFT OF TIME

As much as I love shopping and getting gifts for those on my list, I also remember how precious the gift of time is, with the ones we love. Losing my dad weeks before Christmas when I was seven years old — I’d have given up every gift in the world just to have him back. ❤️

Soon after, my mom started taking turns with me and my siblings — each of us would get a special day or afternoon to spend with just her. Being the oldest of three siblings, I remember looking forward to having her just to myself! One of my favorite outings with her was getting ice cream and spending the afternoon miniature golfing:)

And my kids love every chance they get for one on one time with me. So I made an easy DIY gift for each of them this year—something you could make for anyone special to you!

I grabbed some construction paper, a hole punch and some yarn. I made an ornament shape with the paper, punched a hole at the top and tied the yarn in a loop to make a paper ornament for the tree.

On each of their ‘ornaments’ I had their name on one side, and a note on the other - listing the ornament as their ticket for a day with just me - to do whatever they want!

A few years back when I did this, my son picked a McDonalds lunch date and trip to the candy store at the mall - something he STILL talks about today!

You can make them for friends and family - good for a coffee date, attend a gym class together, get your nails done, etc. — the options are endless and you can get creative!

And I’m just betting, these are the gifts that may be cherished the most! ❤️
