It's a lot of fun and you can print our the story to use at your party. Italian Biscotti Holiday time is the best season for cookies! Families usually have their favorites, whether it's chocolate chip, shortbread or pinwheels. Here's an Italian cookie recipe that I bake thorough out the year. Biscottis are double baked cookies that are fabulous with milk or any warm beverage- perfect for dunking! For Christmas I dip the ends of the cookies in melted semi-sweet chocolate and allow to harden. They are barely in the kitchen for two days after that! They make great gifts when you combine them with the Cheerful Cookie Box!! Great Gift & Fundraising Idea Brownies in a Jar Gift Everyone loves brownies. Brownies are the perfect gift and you'll love our Brownies in a Jar. All you need is a one quart jar that you can pick up at your local craft store. Just take the ingredients for the Double Fudge Brownie Mix and fill the jar. You can make the jar festive by using a colorful ribbon to tie on the recipe instructions along with a note from you. Using a small piece of material you can also cover the lid of the jar add the ribbon and you have "wrapped" your gift! Irish Cream Fudge This week's Dessert of the Week features Irish Cream Fudge.

Also nuts are optional and if you choose to add them, any type your like will work well with this recipe. Sit-A-Pon a gift for the gardening mom The Sit-A-Pon is created by using very simple household materials; old plastic tablecloth, magazines, and yarn. I first made a Sit-A-Pon when I was a Girl Scout. I still remember that pink and white soft square that protected my knees while gardening as a small girl. The Sit-A-Pon can be personalized just for your mom. You can use water proof magic markers to write her name and her favorite colored yarn to sew the edging. Cheerful Cookie Box Kathy Ross, the popular craft book author, has written a new book craft book called Crafts for Christian Values . Kathy's latest book is filled with wonderful crafts and ideas to help children learn about Christian values and what they mean. This easy-to-do craft lets you take disposable plastic containers, photos, drawings, and old greeting cards to make a wonderful keepsake . It's so easy that even the little ones can do it too.

They are sure to liven up any room with their fragrance. You'll want to choose scents which your mom likes. You can substitute potpourri oil for the essential oils in this craft. Heart Magnets These are terrific for the fridge and a welcomed gift for any age. They can also be made into fashionable pins . Attach pin backings to the heart instead of magnets. The craft "dough" will keep unrefrigerated for up to 2 weeks when stored with a small piece of damp sponge in a plastic bag or sealed container. This fun craft can be done with children of any age starting from 4 years old and up. How Can I Save Money on Birthday Gifts and Parties? by Jonni McCoy When it's time for a special occasion, we tend to throw out the budget. Some of us even resort to using our credit cards for these events since we had not planned for them in our budget. With a little foresight and creativity, we can handle these gift-giving days as well as we handle our daily expenses. Valentine Hug Box & Cookies Yes, it is a craft, yes it is a recipe, but the best part of it is the personal touch. The giving of yourself. This Valentine Package should be made for anyone you care about- this could be grandparents, a sick friend or anyone who could use a hug. Look around your neighborhood. Look into your own family. If a class is going to create this craft think about a small group that you would like to donate these treasures to. All will be brightened by your efforts; your artistry; your art.

Of course, you already knew that - which is why you've come to Things Remembered for the most memorable personalized anniversary gift ideas! Read on, and let's see if we can help make your anniversary gift shopping an enjoyable, rather than a stressful, experience. The Milestones: Special Anniversary Years To Remember While a husband and wife may have their own tradition of exchanging anniversary gifts each year of their marriage, it's traditionally accepted for their friends and relatives to give anniversary gifts to the couple only in "milestone" years. These are generally recognized as the 1st through 15th anniversary, and then every five years after. But, of course, how you choose to celebrate a wedding anniversary is up to you. These days, the choice of anniversary gifts is as diverse as marriage styles. The same goes for how much you choose to spend on an anniversary gift. You shouldn't feel pressured to spend more based on the year of marriage you're honoring. It's not the size or price of the gift that matters most - it's the thought that went into selecting it. Another way to make your anniversary gift an especially cherished one is to have it engraved with a sentiment that conveys your feelings about the special day. Adding this personal touch says so much more than an expensive price tag! The Official Gift Theme List - Don't Go Shopping Without It The beauty of anniversary gift giving is that someone has already done the job of giving key anniversary years their own gift "theme" - a big help for clueless shoppers! You may be familiar with the traditional anniversary gifts assigned to bigger milestone years; for instance, paper as a 1st anniversary gift, silver as a 25th anniversary gift , and gold as a 50th anniversary gift . But the good news is, there's both a classic and modern gift theme for the 1st through the 15th anniversaries, and for each five-year milestone after that, up to the 60th anniversary. The themes are specific - i.e. wood, diamonds, leather, china, crystal - but there are countless ways to interpret them as gifts. Take a look at our Anniversary Gift Theme Table . Between Couples - Express Your Love With An Engraved Anniversary Gift No matter what the anniversary year, most couples put a lot of thought into finding just the right anniversary gift. Something with deep meaning or symbolism, or something they know their spouse has always wanted. So before you shop, take some time to browse and think. Surf the Things Remembered website for starters. Here, you'll find some wonderful anniversary gift ideas for both husbands and wives. If you two are into jewelry, his and hers personalized ID bracelets or watches make wonderful and cherished anniversary gifts, especially when they're engraved with your personal messages of love. Combination gifts are also a nice way to go. For a wife, a gift including a beautiful engraved musical trinket box with Swarovski® accented jewelry tucked inside makes a wonderful gift. For a husband, consider some handsome and useful wardrobe accessories, like a pair of cuff links tucked inside an engraved valet box for his dresser. Remember, if you're really stuck, look to the anniversary gift themes list for ideas. You'll be amazed at what you come up with to rekindle the romance on your special day. Tried & True - Popular Anniversary Gift Ideas For Friends And Family So what are today's most popular anniversary gifts? For starters, you can't go wrong with a clock. Glass domed, engraved clocks (with a special anniversary sentiment and date) are among the most popular of all, but there are many beautiful clocks , executed in wood, and in metal, that make perfect anniversary gifts. Personalized picture frames , crystal items , and engraved trinket boxes are also high on the list. However, other types of wedding anniversary gifts are also growing in popularity. For instance, decorative throws embroidered with the couple's names and their wedding date. Or, if the milestone year calls for a diamond theme, consider an engraved picture frame or trinket box adorned with sparkling Swarovski® crystals. These amazing stones achieve the drama and the flash of fine diamonds at a much more affordable price. Celebrating Everlasting Love - A Time To Be Sentimental When it comes to choosing and giving anniversary gifts, it's OK to be as sentimental and sweet as possible! After all, this is a celebration of love. So whether you're a spouse shopping for the love of your life, or a friend choosing a special gift for a special couple, you'll definitely want to tap into your romantic side as you contemplate your gift. And keep in mind, to make your anniversary gift truly personal, you'll definitely want to have it engraved with a message straight from your heart. Don't forget, at Things Remembered, every gift is engraveable, or may be embroidered, with your personal words of congratulations. So shop now, or stop in a store, and see what we can wrap up for you to make that upcoming anniversary the most memorable of all.
