Soooo I went Christmas shopping with two ideas in mind.
One is for the stackable boxes and the other was inspired by what my Mamma does for me for Christmas--she would get a tin and fill it with silly goodies like little toys, glitter, and chocolate coins. So what I am going to do is get the toilet paper rolls I've been saving for projects and fill them with goodies and tape them up and wrap it nice. So it would be a variation on stocking stuffers.
I found it surprisingly difficult to find little things to stick in a toilet paper roll that my parents would actually like. I found those weird bouncy balls that have frills on them, I have a toy camaro like my Dad's that I had painted for a project that I never finished, and I have emergency glows sticks...some i might just fill with candy...If you have more ideas of little gifts I can stick inside a toilet paper roll, send them my way.
I was exhausted by the end of it, looped the store ten times, but at least I got some gifts going, and none of it was expensive...everything I got was under $10.
