Christmas Giving: 100+ Stocking Gifts under $1.00
Rolled pennies made to look like a candy for stocking stuffer gift
One of the fun parts of Christmas is opening the little items that you get in the stockings every year. I like to put both practical and fun items in the stockings. Many years while doing regular shopping and finding items on clearance or with a coupon I am done with the stockings before December even arrives. In our family we typically open the stockings on Christmas Eve before the girls go to bed that night. It gets the celebrations started and it allows the girls to “savor the moment” as they open their stockings. As they are opening the gifts they will try on new socks, read a book, paint their nails, put a pretty hair barrette in their hair or play with their little toys. As a general rule the items that go in the stockings need to be less than $1.00 and in some cases I can get items for free. Here are some ideas if you are trying to fill that last little bit of the stocking.

A lot of what you get will depend on the size of the stocking you are trying to fill. Items like socks are great for filling up the stocking where getting smaller items will take more to fill it up. If you want you could go with a “theme” and get all kitchen items or crafty type items to put into the stocking for someone who would enjoy it. You can get many of these items for free or nearly free throughout the year by checking out the clearance sections, using coupons, and rewards programs (CVS – Extra Care Bucks, Walgreens – Register Rewards, KMart – Rewards, and more).
If you need a few items but don’t have time to shop throughout the year go to Dollar Tree and pick up a multi pack of hair barrettes, chapsticks and other goodies and divide them up among the family members. Another great spot to pick up items if you are on a time crunch is in the travel / dollar sections in stores like Walmart or Target (where they have the mini bottles of items or other things people may need).

Intentional Living: Weekly Goals
Last week was full for Christmas Celebrations, activities, and work travel. I am thankful to have Jake back at home with us and look forward to spending some quality time with my family over the Christmas Holidays. The girls are now out of school so I debated whether or not to do a goal list this week because I want to make sure to spend any “extra” time with them. I am going to try to keep it short this week for that reason.
Here is the update on last weeks goals:

I think it is important to share and encourage each other as we seek to improve our lives and the lives of those around us. I want to live intentionally not just hope all my dreams and goals come true. When I focus on small steps of improvement I am able to see results as I get closer to my goals. Some weeks I get closer to the goals I have in my life and other weeks a take a few steps back (life happens, emergencies occur, people get sick). Once the goals are written down and shared it provides a guideline for what I aim to accomplish this week.
Why Share My Goals?
- To keep me accountable
- To share a piece of my life with you as I strive to be a better Child of God, Wife, Mom, Friend, Homemaker, Entrepreneur and the many other roles I have each week
- To have my goals consistently written down so I can gauge progress more accurately
- Create healthy habits in my life
- To encourage you to share your goals with me as you continue to grown and learn
How did you do this week on your goals? Feel free to share or link to your list of weekly goals.
The picture above is one that I created for my own purposes, however, The “SMART” acronym was originally coined 30 years ago by Peter Drucker in his classic work, Management by Results

Living on a Budget: Groceries $40 for 4
It was a week full of traveling, work, and Christmas celebrations! I was able to stay under budget and stock up on some goodies, including produce and other fridge & pantry products! I am thankful that South Carolina does not have any tax on groceries, this is very beneficial when I am trying to stay within the grocery budget down for our family. Here is my weekly update on our Groceries $40 for 4.
Groceries from Ingles and Dollar Tree Ingles Groceries:
- $12.77 at Ingles for 1 fresh Cantaloupe, 1 bag Grapefruit, 2 bags Brussel Sprouts, 1 bag Broccoli, 1 bag carrots, 1 bag Peanuts, 1 jar Claussen Pickles, and 1 container Honey Ham. (Everything I bought this week at Ingles was on sale, marked down, or on clearance. All the produce including the huge bag of grapefruits were marked down to $0.99 cents! The ham was marked down and is perfect for making lunches, the Claussen pickles are my husband’s favorite pickles but I rarely buy them because they are so expensive but since they had one marked down I snagged one for him this week!)
Dollar Tree Groceries:
- $1.00 at Dollar Tree for 1 loaf Nature’s Own White Wheat Bread
Groceries from Whole Foods Whole Foods Groceries:
- $2.14 at Whole Foods for 2 jars Tikka Masala Curry, 2 jars Korma Curry, and 2 jars Jalfrezi Curry. (Used a coupon, part of a gift card, and they were on sale this week especially since I typically do not shop at Whole Foods since it is across town! I was SUPER excited to get six jars of curry for only $2.14. Our family enjoys having curry every few weeks so this will come in handy, plus we have family coming to stay with us who loves curry too. The only thing that I was really disappointed to see was that Whole Foods no longer carries the curry packs like they used to, either way I was still happy to get these for a little over $2! The lady in front of me spent $194.00 which is more than my budget for the entire month on just a few things in her basket and the lady behind me wanted to know how I got all of this for so little. Thankful for an opportunity to save AND share with others.)
This week I spent $15.91 on groceries. Even though I was under on my budgeted amount for the week I was able to stock up on some items at the same time plus it allows me a little extra to spend next week if I find a great deal. I was thrilled to stock up on produce as well as other great fridge & pantry items this week. Now I am hungry for a “curry” dinner! 🙂 I hope that next week is better week and we can come under budget!
It is my goal to give you regular updates on this budget section so you can celebrate the good weeks with me and thump me on the bad weeks! As always you are welcomed to join the journey with me. I would love to hear your story and how you are doing too. The purpose of our family doing this it to watch our grocery spending while allowing us to feed our family, enjoy life, share with others, and yet stay on track with our budget.
Living on a Budget is a series of ways our family uses a budget to help keep us accountable with our finances. Life doesn’t always go as planned. We have used some of the ideas I will be sharing for years while others are ones we are just starting to implement as we continue finding ways to be creative and have fun with what we have been given. Having a plan in place allows us the freedom to be smart with what we have been given, get more creative when it is a tight (week, month, year or a season) and when necessary live a much more simplified life. A budget helps us stay on track so we have more opportunities to enjoy the many blessings we have been given as well as share what we have with others. There is so much more to life than having all the stuff. We may not have the newest or greatest items in our house, we drive used cars, and wear hand-me-down clothing…..however, if our family is taken care of and have love for each other and others we have more than all the riches in the world.

Gift Giving: 12 Days of Christmas Appreciation
12 Days of Christmas Appreciation
Last year I did the 12 days of Christmas for the girls so this year as I was putting together the 12 Days for the girls I was thinking about ways I could be a blessing for my husband as well. I wanted to do the 12 Days of Christmas for him but the problem is he is traveling for work several days prior to Christmas. He travels pretty lightly so for me to squeeze in an extra few gifts into his suitcase would be difficult. I thought about doing 12 Days of “Love Notes” but I already send him a folder when he travels with “I Love You” notes from myself and the girls. I eventually came up with 12 gifts and “love notes” for my husband’s 12 Days of Christmas Appreciation that would easily fit into his suitcase.
Here is what my 12 Days of Christmas includes:
Day 1: You stole a “Piece” of my heart! (Reese’s Pieces)
Day 2: We are “mint” to be together! Love You! (Junior Mints)
Day 3: Thanks for being my “lifesaver” so many times! (Life Savers)
Day 4: We know how to have a “jolly” good time together! (Jolly Rancher)
Day 5: You are the brightest “star” in my sky! (Starburst)
Day 6: I call you “sweet”pea because you are the “sweet”est part of my life! (Sweet Tarts)
Day 7: You are an amazing Daddy to our “kids”! (Sour Patch Kids)
Day 8: You have o”fish”ally stolen my heart! (Swedish Fish)
Day 9: You are my “M”agnificant & “M”arvelous life partner! (M&Ms)
Day 10: You are my “Baby”love and my “Baby”cake! (Sugar Babies)
(“BabyLove” & “BabyCake” are two of the nicknames I have for my man, just ask the kids!)
Day 11: You are my smokin “hot” man! (Hot Tamales)
Day 12: I love traveling and going to “Charleston” with you handsome! (Charleston Chews)
Once that was done I wrapped the boxes, put a bow on top, and set it up for him. The neat part about using these boxes is they are all fairly uniform in size so they make putting your 12 Days of Christmas Appreciation stack together really easy. You can put together this entire stack of gifts for under $12 if you paid full price for everything. Walmart sells these boxes for $0.98 each everyday so if you can find some of them on sale at another store or use your Extra Care Bucks at CVS or Register Rewards at Walgreens you could easily put this together for less than $5. If you don’t have time to put this together for Christmas consider doing it for Valentine’s Day (for your “sweetheart”), the month of your anniversary, your spouse’s birthday, or another special occasion. The point is to express your love and appreciation for your spouse.
The girls helped me pick out a couple of the boxes of candy. They were excited about his gifts and told me that “Daddy is nice so he will probably share some of his candy with us.” You know what, they are right! Their Daddy is sweet and generous which means the girls will most likely get a taste of his 12 Days of Christmas Appreciation. Here’s a picture of the wrapped stack:
12 Days of Christmas Appreciation Stack
I am grateful for a loving, caring and hard working man that loves me despite all my craziness. This is just one way to share my love with him not only for the Christmas Holiday but remind him even when he is away from home that I love him dearly. It was a lot of fun putting together the sayings, wrapping the gifts and giving them to my man to put into his suitcase. It is my intention to show appreciation to my husband at least once a day. Thankful for an extra opportunity to say “I love you” to my best friend and life partner!
I received my inspiration from The Dating Divas after seeing her “You stole a “Piece” of my heart!” and “You have o”fish”ally stolen my heart!” After the jump start on the idea I came up with the other goodies and sweet sayings for my hubby.
Recipe: Rice Krispy Christmas Wreath
As a kid I remember my Aunt Becky making mini Christmas Wreaths with Rice Krispy treats around the Holidays (which were a huge hit at the family potlucks). Since I had the ingredients on hand and people coming to visit I decided to make a festive dessert for dinner. Instead of making mini wreaths I decided to make one big one that everyone could share. I made a batch of rice krispy treats, put in a few drops of green food coloring in the marshmallow mixture, formed a Christmas wreath on a plate and decorated with red licorice, red hots, and pearls. The girls thought these rice krispies were extra special and it really didn’t take me that much longer to put the wreath together. You can make your wreath as light or dark green as you like, each one of mine (as you can see from the two pictures) are a little different. I have included the rice krispy recipe in case you do not have it on hand.
Rice Krispy Recipe:
- 1/4 cup Butter or Margarine
- 10 oz Marshmallows (usually 1 bag)
- 6 cups Rice Krispy Cereal
- Few drops Green Food Coloring
Melt butter in microwavable bowl. Add marshmallows and microwave until completely melted. Stir the marshmallows and butter together until melted and smooth. Mix in a few drops of green food coloring. Add cereal and mix until evenly coated. Put spoonfuls of rice krispies on a platter in a circle. Butter your hands and form the rice krispies into a wreath. Garnish with red licorice, red hots, m&ms, skittles, pearls or anything else you want.
The girls requested that I make the “Christmas Wreath” again for another Christmas party and for their school party. The only problem was I didn’t have any more red hots or pearls to decorate the wreath, but we did have Skittles! The girls thought the Skittles were a beautiful and tasty addition to the Christmas wreath! Plus this is an easy recipe that the kids can put together with your kids.
If you have an upcoming Christmas party this would be another easy recipe to bring and share. Enjoy! 🙂
