Gifts - Week 1

This year I am beginning a new tradition with my daughters and E. I mean I celebrate my birth all month long so I thought wouldn’t it be fun if I did something similar for my peeps. They happily go along with anything I want to do for my “Birthmas” so why not spread love right?


I made cute little tags in Word, printed them then laminated them. I made a different one for each gift.

Anyone that has been reading me for any length of time knows that my kid usually accessorizes her pajamas…um, yeah I am soooo not kidding. It is not uncommon for one of us to go into her bedroom to give her a kiss and she has an arm full of bangles or a pair of her colored ‘pearls’ around her neck. She ALWAYS has on a pair of earrings.

So her gift this week is a new pair of pajamas. She will get some fresh accessories next week. It wouldn’t surprise me if she wore ALL of them to bed at once. LOL

Let me tell ya’ll a thing about E, he HATES shopping, HATES it. This joker will wear his t-shirts and socks until they are literally falling apart and will look at me like I am crazy when I tell him it is time to replace them. This is fools talk because replacing them would require him actually going into a store! LOLOL…so E gets a box full of fresh, white undershirts and socks. One of the really cool things about E is that he will appreciate this little gesture as if I have given him gold!


The gifts get bigger as the month progresses. Neither knows what the other is getting except for the usual dinner of your choice on your actual day. I love good surprises…these folks in my house are spoilT (the T is for emphasis!) LOLOL


What special things do you do for your birthday celebration?
