Gift Giving Tips & Ideas

Full disclosure – I am a terrible gift-giver!  I really have a hard time coming up with thoughtful gifts and things people would enjoy.  Not only that, but I tend to wait until the last minute to get a gift.  That is not a good combination!

I really struggle with ideas for birthdays and special occasions. However, I have a new strategy that seems to be working great for those occasional gifts such as weddings or showers!  It is only new to me, because I think this is how regular gift-givers must operate. 

  • Online Selections – As soon as you get an invitation with selections that can be ordered online, go ahead and place an order right then.
  • Keep a good selection of cards on hand for all occasions.
  • Have a supply of gift sacks and tissue paper on hand for all occasions.
  • Keep a list on your phone. Throughout the year, when you get an ideas for someone, jot it down.
  • When you can, go in with friends or relatives to get gifts – the more brainstorming/ideas the better.
  • Homemade gifts are always great! This includes favorite meals, snacks, and desserts.

With Father’s Day so close, I would like to share a few gift ideas for men. These are some of my husband’s favorite things!

I still don’t have a clue what I am going to get my dad, but at least I am already thinking about it. That is a start!

Happy Shopping!

Have a Grace & Joy-filled day!

    On Gift giving, No one of my family NEEDS anything, so I shop nostalgia and vintage for each them. Example—I have two Fortune (1937 and 1939) magazine covers (very Deco) framed and matted in the trunk of my car for $7 each—for my son—for his birthday. Highlight for Christmas was a set of crab picks, from the turn of the 19th century—for the seafood lover. Speaking of I have an old metal minnow bucket that will become an outdoor lamp for hubby tucked away. Never hurts to really think about the person you are buying or making for!

Hello!

Hello!

Welcome! I believe homes and families should be filled with grace and joy! As I think about my life, I can see how my grandmother and my mom poured these beliefs into our home. How fitting that my grandmother's name was Grace and my mother's name is Joy. I hope to share the impact "Grace and Joy" have made on my life and in my home!

I wrote this back in 2006, but the household tips, recipes, and organizational strategies are still relevant as they are filtered through the lens of Scripture.
