Just In Case Gifts

 

If you have ever had the stress of someone unexpectedly showing up at your gift-giving event or you’ve ever accidentally overlooked someone on your list, then you know how bad it can make you feel. With that in mind, it doesn’t hurt to have some ‘just in case’ gifts on hand. That is, why not be prepared for the unexpected?

Here are some gift ideas that can work – just in case! 

1. Candles – Almost everyone appreciates the fragrance and ambiance that candles can give. It doesn’t seem to matter, male or female, candles can make perfect ‘just in case’ gifts.
2. Body Spray/Cologne – Body sprays are inexpensive and they are available almost at anyplace that sells bath products. You can purchase sprays made specifically for men and for women. They make great stocking stuffers, last minute gifts, and of course, they are ideal for those ‘just in case’ occasions.
3. Specialty Food Items – Everyone likes to eat and there are lots of specialty food items that are great for giving. For instance, special herbs and spices or even an awesome olive oil can be ideal for those that like to cook. And of course, delicious candies, pastries and other treats can make delectable presents.
4. Hand & Dish Towels – Hand and dish towels are available in seasonal decorator colors and designs. You can also choose the towels based on a pattern or favorite color. These are items that nearly anyone can use more of.
5. Socks & Footies – Think about it – can you ever have too many socks or footies?   
6. Corkscrews & Shot Glasses – People that enjoy wine and other drinks are sure to appreciate a unique corkscrew and/or a shot glass or two.
7. Puzzles, Cards, & Games – There are countless choices available when it comes to puzzles, cards, and games. You can choose to give a board game or a beautiful deck of cards. The best part is, you can find something that is appropriate for just about any age group!
8. Teddy Bears, Cars, & Dolls – When extra kids show up it is imperative to have something to give. Most young children will be more than satisfied with a stuffed animal, a play car, or a doll.
9. Coloring Books & Crayons – Often overlooked as a quick and easy gift item, coloring books and crayons are actually great for giving.
10. Books – If you like to read then a book can be ideal as a just in case gift. Why not buy a book you are interested in – wrap up – just in case – and if you don’t have unexpected guests, then you can keep it for yourself?

Choose to have one or one of each of these items ready during the holiday season, just in case. Even if you don’t need them you can keep them on hand for the future. Of course, you will likely want to keep many of the ‘leftover’ items for yourself!

Snowflakes and Mistletoe Add To the Magic of Christmas

When Christmas is round the corner many children start counting the days because they are eagerly anticipating Santa Claus and his gifts for them. This is the time of the year when children have more fun than ever, but for adults it can be extremely hectic. Some advice for making this holiday season less stressful is ordering personalized letters from Santa Claus and also purchasing some pre-Christmas gifts early. This adds to the fun for the children and helps to relieve adults of last minute hassles.

Every year children in the United States, Canada and around the world write letters to Santa Claus so that they can tell him what they expect for Christmas. Normally, they do not expect an answer to their request except for an occasional note that says thank you on a plate that the children have left cookies on for Santa on the eve of Christmas. If you order personalized letters from Santa Claus for the children, a special spark would be added to the season and you would not be able to wipe off the smiles on the faces of your children. You can get these letters from many different suppliers but some are much better than others. Just like any other shopping, comparison shopping proves that some vendors are not concerned with creating a quality product. However, packages from Santa are available that are sure to please you and amaze your children.

You will have to give personal information to the supplier in order to personalize the letters. You have to provide the name, age, gender, as well as other details. All this is edited so that the letter looks like it is addressed to your child specifically by Santa himself. The illusion will be maintained that Santa knows everything about each child. The joy of your child will know no bounds when he thinks that Santa wrote a personal letter to him. Combine the arrival of this unique gift with inexpensive pre-Christmas gifts and your kids will be delighted. The waiting period that leads to Christmas can be made more exciting with the help of activity pads, gift items that are small and craft kits. Some activities of this kind will also give the adults a lot of fun. You could look around for specific craft projects that are designed so that the child and parent work together closely in order to complete it as per the schedule. This would make the countdown to Christmas a fun affair for both. You could personalize the small gifts. A personal touch could be added to the project that is completed with the help of items like ornament craft gifts to hold photographs, personalized ornaments and other items. It will make the project yours as well as your child’s.


You will all cherish the time you have spent together some years later. The period before Christmas can be very hectic but children enjoy this period because of the gifts that they are going to get from Santa Claus. You can make the season merry with the help of a Christmas package from Santa Claus while snowflakes and mistletoe will add to the magic.

Wow, it’s that time again!

What time is that?.....You ask.

Time to get ready for Christmas! JOY!

Ok, so it might be a little early for some of you. But for others, like my mother for example, (love you mom!) you’ve probably been getting ready for months already.

Well, here at PackageFromSanta.com we think about Christmas all year. In fact, we started working on this year’s Package back in January. Really!

I really think you’re going to love all the new stuff we’ve been working on. I know your kids are going to love it! All the letters (as well as the letterhead) are new for 2008. So, if you ordered last year you don’t have to worry about the letter being the same.

Many of the other products have been updated as well. One of the things we’re really excited about is the new packaging for the Deluxe Package From Santa. It’s just incredible. Kids are really going to flip when they see this.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is…
