4 Gifts: Gift Ideas – Wants

Filed Under: Christmas, Family Tagged With: 4 Gifts, gift ideas

Halloween is over, therefore it is time to start thinking about Christmas Gifts. Someone told me about the concept of 4 Gifts a few years ago, but we hadn’t followed through yet. Basically, each person would get 1 or 2 gifts from each Category: something they want | something they need | something they’ll wear | something they’ll read. I love this idea because it will really help teach your children that Christmas isn’t about how many presents they get. It is about being Thankful for the gifts they DO receive. Therefore, for the next four weeks I will share some gift ideas for myself from each category. I am starting with gifts that I want. Since I really love shopping handmade, these are all from Etsy.

 4 Gifts: Gift Ideas - Wants

1. DSLR Scarf Strap | I love the mint and gold. I have been eyeing up the scarf straps for awhile. I think they are so pretty.

2. iPad Mini Stand | This would come in handy when I am using the iPad for a recipe while cooking. Also while watching shows on Netflix.

3. Phone Wallet/Wristlet | I love that this is big enough to hold your phone and anything else you may need. She also offers to add SD Card Slots. Which would be nice for me.

4. You Make Me Brave Bracelet | Our Church Women’s Conference was all about how God makes us brave. This would be a good reminder to have.

5. 90% Cream Coffee Cup | Kenny jokes on me all the time about how I drink mostly cream, not coffee. So this cup is perfect for me.

6. Minted Branch Knotted Headband | I love this color if you can’t tell, but I also have been eyeing up headbands. I need something to change up my boring hair style.

      It is really awesome. It could be versatile for most tablets.

    I love the 4 gifts idea, it means you get some things you need and somethings that just help with life that you often don't want to buy yourself!

Another one that needs a hair cut and he has been bugging me about it. 🤣 Didn’t really notice how long it was until I compared it to the other photo. Prestyn had a great year and has made some amazing friends. He can’t wait to start 2nd grade next year.

Carsyn’s last day of school vs first day of scho Carsyn’s last day of school vs first day of school. He desperately needs a hair cut but I love the messy look. He’s grown so much this year. Carsyn went through a rough time at school, losing his best friend in the classroom, and losing one of his favorite teachers but he has done amazing adjusting.

Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropical Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropicalplantsusa. I got it just after Valentine’s Day. I think it is time for a repot. I’m going to wait for the new leaf to harden up and then repot it. I have been super happy with the quality.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.
