12 Days of Christmas Gifts, a Summary

After I wrapped up the Christmas gift series last week (ha ha– wrap, gifts…), I realized you have to do a lot of scrolling through previous posts to see the full gift list. So, for those of you who came late to the party, here is a summary of the 12 days of gift ideas. I probably should have done it this way in the beginning, but it sure does make one long post.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping!

Day 1: Watercolor Portraits

Watercolor paintings by Susan Woodard

Day 2: Jelly Marbles

Low price point, good stocking stuffer, great gift for children’s birthday parties

I am an educator. I am a little crafty; I like to make cupcakes, and I love projects. As my husband will tell you, these interests can quickly grow out of control when working on teacher gifts and class activities.

  • Love your ideas! Was wondering if you had any thoughts for a good teacher gift aside from an amex gift card? Thanks!

      • Westy, after Thanksgiving I am going to post some new little "sirsee" ideas for the teachers this year. I am working on a little box with cocoa, stirrers, and a few cookies. Also look at the teacher gift link in the right margin or the sirsee link across the top! Thanks for reading!

  • Great ideas Caitlin!! I just ordered a few of the casserole containers for gifts. Thank you! :)
    I hope all is well with you. I'd love to catch up soon!

    • Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! So glad I helped with your Christmas shopping. :-) Yes-- let's talk soon.

  • We bought my daughters the Calico Critters a few years ago and they still like to play with them. Love that personalized branding iron too. What a great idea for a manly man!

  • Nice compendium. I'm so far behind this year because of the move and craziness at work. I've been awful.

  • Just spotted the bacon flavored olive oil! Have you actually tried it yourself? I wonder if I could order it on Amazon.com. They carry everything under the sun! :)

    • I did not try it because it said "bacon flavored" and then vegetarian (???), but I think it is such a good idea. I look for it when I am at stores with sort of gourmet olive oils. I'll keep you posted if I find it.
