Three Inexpensive Dollar Tree Holiday Gift Ideas (& My Facebook Live Debut!}

Earlier this year I made a goal to do a Facebook Live in 2017.  (For those of you who don’t know what Facebook Live is, it’s a live broadcast on Facebook.  I’m sure you could have figured that out, but I like to be helpful.  ;-)).  I kept putting it off because, well, the thought of showing my face and talking to people on Facebook made me want to vomit (hello . . . there are like a gajillion Facebook users worldwide)!  It’s much easier to sit behind your computer screen and type.

Anyway, I waited until NOW to actually do it, but I’m proud to say that I DID IT and I shared three inexpensive Dollar Tree holiday gift ideas during my first Facebook Live! Learn how to make three inexpensive Christmas gifts with supplies from Dollar Tree! These Dollar Tree gift ideas are a cinch to put together! #ChristmasGifts #Christmas

These are all quick and easy gift ideas that are perfect for someone you need just a little something for – maybe your neighbors, the school bus driver, crossing guard, mail lady – you get the idea!  Learn how to make three inexpensive Christmas gifts with supplies from Dollar Tree!

You know you’ve got a bunch of people on your list like that, so watch my video to learn how to make Gingerbread House Soaps, Mercury Glass Votives, and Hot Chocolate Tumblers!

In the end, doing Facebook Live wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and I will probably do it again!  It was kind of a fun rush and I always like a challenge.

Happy Holidays!

      Thank YOU, Norma! Looking forward to sharing more fun ideas this year. I hope you have the best year yet!

    Could you post your videos to your blog for those people who don’t have or want Facebook accounts? Your video did not play all the way through on your blog, probably cause it is through Facebook?

    Thank you!

      Hi, Maggie! Oh my gosh, I am SO behind on responding to comments and I am very sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I read that when I embed the videos from FB they should work, even for non-FB users, so I will do some more investigating! I may end up doing it a different way since you had this problem. Thanks for letting me know. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! xo

      Hi, Diana! THANK YOU!!! Such a sweet note. I am sorry for the delay in responding – I got very behind with Christmas prep and then my kids’ winter break. But I truly appreciate the fact that you watched my babbling video and took the time to respond. I hope you had a beautiful holiday season!

    I think you did a fabulous job for your first time. I know I would have been scared too. You should be very proud of yourself for following through with Facebook Live. Your ideas were great too.

Modernizing a Mirrored Wall: Tape to the Rescue!

One of the biggest challenges in my Office and Guest Room Combo Makeover was modernizing a mirrored wall that screamed “hello, it’s 1980.”  OK, obviously it didn’t really scream that, but it might as well have! Of course I thought about removing the mirrored wall altogether.  But when I researched how to do that, I […]

DIY Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor

I’ve made a lot of Easter crafts over the years, and they’ve all tended to focus on bunnies and eggs.  Now I’m in an Easter carrot decor phase.  (It’s a real thing.)  Last year’s Easter craft post was this Carrot Door Hanger, and this year it’s all about the carrots, too. You’d think that I […]

Gray Chalk Paint Dresser Makeover

Office and Guest Room Combo: How to Create a Double-Duty Space

Our ‘new’ home has one more bedroom than at our last house, and because of that, we had no furniture for it.  It’s pretty tiny, but with some creative planning I turned it into an office and guest room combo space that easily pulls double-duty, making it a totally functional WIN for my family!   With […]
