I shared this before, but thought it would be worth a 2nd mention.. Last year, I gave out popcorn buckets filled with candy.
last second photo, snapped before the delivery (bad photo sorry :-))
I ordered online a bunch of popcorn buckets (just google popcorn buckets, you'll get alot of choices). Then filled them with candy bars (bulk at Costco), popcorn kernels in a bag tied with bow (with directions to pop them) cheddar popcorn seasoning (that I put in a shaker), and a note... It said something like:
"During this busy Christmas season, take some time to pop some popcorn, put on a movie and have a relaxing night with your family"
I also ordered a stamp last year from expressionery.com that said "Just for you, love the Mortenson's" I used it on the tags, and I tell you that stamp has come in handy this year!!
I have NO idea what I'm doing this year, I actually have 4 or 5 ideas, but have yet to settle on one... (good plan huh! Need to get cracking on that one!)
Also, check out this SUPER CLEVER idea from from Angela, of Moda Home Mom. Wouldn't this be awesome for a teacher or neighbor gift???? Visit her blog for the tutorial.
As I come across other ideas online, I'll be sharing them with you! If you have any ideas for me (either for neighbor gifts, or managing the Christmas season), SHARE THEM PLEASE!, leave a comment and I'll compile them into a blog post.. I don't manage stress well during the Holidays, so any "tips" you have for me would be greatly appreciated!

I have some similar ideas...although I am going to get a big bowl so they can keep it instead of the one you can purchase that you have to throw away.
Great ideas! I'll come back when I get some more actually panned out!
Pleaaaase be my Neighbor!!!! hahahaha great quick gifts.
Love the ideas - wondering where you got the cute graphic you used for the M label??
Presentation is half the gift - isn't it? It looks fantastic and fun.
Yes, I was wondering the same thing......where did you find that "M" - I LOVE it!! Cute gifts!
Love that idea. Easy and cute! I'm still in the "thinking" stage of trying to come up with gifts, but i had better get crackin', since my time machine broke and I can't stop time anymore :)
Blockbuster sells popcorn buckets that have the popcorn unpopped in the bottom of it and then you microwave it. I have used them and filled it with a candy, drinks and video rental gift card for Christmas gifts!
So cute! I love it!
What a darling blog! I'm so glad I stumbled on to your blog! I just posted my first part of Gift ideas. I would love to share with you!

Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing. If you are looking to promote your brand in a unique way or want to add that special touch to your gifting solutions, an ideal option is to use customized gifts like t-shirts, pens, mugs, bags which have your company logo imprinted on them.
I was thinking of a house present idea and I remembered yours! Hurray! It sounds yummy and fun to do! Thanks!
