Give the gift of presence this year! My guide to gifting Experiences!!

 Aside from the "panic" of Chistmas gift shopping in August due to shortages of everything I had decided early on that I wanted to give the girls more experiences vs toys/presents this year.  It got me thinking of all the ways I could "gift" them items that weren't just things that would be short lived and end up in the back of their closet by February. 

Here is a list of items to get the ball rolling if you too are wanting to gift much more than toys this year...gift some memories! 

1. Amusement Parks.  I know this is easier for us Floridians but it doesn't have to be as extravagant as Disney or Universal Studios.  Think of local amusement parks, zoo passes, aquarium passes, resort hotels (Great Wolf Lodge etc).

2. A night away at a hotel! You can order food and watch a movie...kids love hotel stays! 

3. Lessons.  This is the perfect time of year to gift lessons to anything your child has shown interest in.  Music, art, sports.  There are even amazing online classes now a days that you can sign up for.  I've seen cool ones like "comic book drawing" or "Movie theme Dances" all offered over ZOOM.

4. Special appoinments! I just took Ava for her first hair highlight at the salon and she knew it was actually a part of her Christmas gifts.  A special spa day, hair cut, nail appt.  Anything!

5. Sporting Event tickets.

6. Give your child a "YES DAY"...if you saw the movie you know all about this! It is on both my girl Christmas lists! 

7. Coupons.  You can make up your own coupons that you know your child would love.  It can be passes to skip specific chores, dinner out a restaurant of their choice, time on their devices etc.

8. Museum/concert tickets.

9. Theme Nights.  Depending on your childs age buying tickets to a local "Paint Night" or wood working/craft night would be fun! 

10. A special night together! This is great especially when given to each child.  One on one time with mom, dad or both!  Let them choose what you guys will do..maybe dinner and bowling or dinner and a movie!  

Okay I hope that got you thinking! I know this can be harder if your kids are still young.  The young ones want all the toys! But I think the tweens especially would love any of these options. :)


Happy Gifting! 

xo,

Tracy

4 Tips for Selling Your Home!

*Sponsored Post. Thank you to our talented guest blogger, Alex Berger, for sharing these 4 tips on selling your home!* Selling your home can be extremely stressful, but if you are in the beginning stages of the home selling process, I have a few tips for you! About four years ago, my parents packed up their home and moved from Marietta, Georgia to Amelia Island, which is about 30-40 minutes from the Jacksonville airport. They had no idea what to expect when it came to buying in a city that was completely new to them (they had only visited Jacksonville once - for two days!), so it was pretty stressful for them. Now, looking back, they could have done many things differently in order to make the process a lot easier for themselves, especially when it came to selling their home. But, since the selling process is so complex and stressful, a lot of people do it “wrong,” and they are just one of many, which is why I want to help. Here are a few tips for selling your home. Hopefully...

If you are struggling, keep reading because here are 5 ways to prepare your home for holiday guests. * Special thanks to my guest blogger Alex Berger for writing up this holiday blog post* 1. Stock The Pantry First of all, take note of who is comming.  Do you know thier likes and dislikes? If so, go ahead and stock the pantry and fridge with the things they prefer.  If you do not know what they enjoy, go ahead and ask them.  The reason that I always love to stock the pantry before my guests arrive is for a few reasons- 1) Having food in the house saves you from having the awkward "what are we going to eat" talk. 2) Having things...
