Baked Goodies

This year, my 4 and 5 year old daughters are going to do lots of baking. Most everyone loves homemade goodies! And most of the ingredients aren’t that expensive.

Share Your Love and Blessings

 

Re-frame your expectations. Compared to many others, if you have a roof over your head, your personal belongs and memories intact, you are indeed blessed. Set yourself the task of sharing your love and blessings by blessing others, and you will be more blessed than by buying expensive gifts. If you need to realize how much your homemade gifts are worth in dollars and cents, put a dollar amount on the value of your time, factor in your time and the cost of materials and I bet you find you are “spending” quite a lot on gifts!

Snowman Soup Mix

Last year I found very large coffee mugs at the dollar store and made homemade cocoa mix, filled a small ziploc, placed a smaller ziploc filled with mini marshmallows, wrapped it all in cello wrap with a candy cane in the bow and called it snowman soup.

No matter what your plans for christmas, your Cabin Rental in Big Bear is always the most fun item on your list! Call us today and save.

Christmas stress shopping woman

Shopping online for Christmas presents and gifts has become more and more popular over the past 5 years. When companies started selling Christmas gifts on the world-wide-web many consumers were concerned about a number of factors including security and the quality of products purchased over the net. All that has changed and the internet now offers every consumer with the opportunity to safely buy Christmas gifts of any type from the safety and ease of your own home or place of work. Read on to see how you can not only find a bargain but also buy anything you want on the internet.

So what do you buy for your partner this Christmas? If you use the internet, the choices are endless.

Gifts For Men can vary from socks and jocks, belts and ties to adventure trips or bottles of wine. Men also like to receive BBQ or fishing gear, sunnies and bottles of beer.

Gifts For Women can vary too, from perfume and lingerie to chocolates and flowers there is something for every woman at Christmas time. Other suggestions are buying the love of your life some beautiful clothes or jewellery.

Gifts For Children can be easy to buy over the internet and with such a competitive market you can get some great bargains. It is often difficult for parents to go Christmas shopping as many have at least one child in tow. Shopping for Christmas presents online solves all these problems. There are a number specific stores that sell children’s gifts online. The more popular gifts this Christmas include anything to do with Harry Potter, electronic games and toys as well as a range of books by many featured writers.

Gifts For Babies include baby hampers and small toys, wooden puzzles, educational videos, songs on CD’s and designer label clothes which will all be popular this Christmas. Baby blankets, bibs, albums and photo frames will all be in demand as Christmas gifts.

Gifts For Pets are important to many people and there are now stores online who specialise in gifts for dogs, cats, goldfish, horses and many other animals.

If the ideas above do not help try some of these special suggestions below!

Adventure Activities are not for everyone but if you are looking to give a special present that will never be forgotten, try a hot air balloon ride or ride in a V8 racing car. For those looking for the adventure of a lifetime try diving with sharks and for the romantic go on a special winery tour or a sailing cruise. There is something for everyone and companies that specialise in adventure activities can be found on the internet.

Corporate Gifts are popular now and many internet websites specialise in supplying corporate gifts at Christmas time. From pewter mugs and the gold watch to quirky gifts that bring a laugh from all the crew, there is something for everyone.

Indulgent Gifts can be purchased for that someone special. Massage chairs are very popular or just buy your partner or friend a hammock so they can lay outside in the sun. Large screen TV projectors are very popular or really indulge yourself and organise a trip to the South Pole.

                      So here we are Monday the 7th and it’s snowing!!

It’s so beautiful everything is covered in white. But it sure is chilly!  No school today so all the kids in the mountains are happy today.
