11 Gifts for $11

By 11 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I was asked last week by Sherry Williams of KHOU Channel 11 to put together 11 gifts for $11 and under… the catch? I could NOT use sales or coupons!
WHAT!?!
That goes against everything I have in my body! But, I sucked it up and came up with what I think are some great gifts.
In this picture are:
Teen Girl Gift: all kinds of toiletries, makeup, brush, body wash, and a shower caddy to carry it in. $11
Tween Girl Gift: $10 at Walmart a craft set for making bracelets and headbands.
B-B-Q: A1 sauce, marinade, basting brush, beef rub. $8
Family Game Night: 2 board games from Toys-R-Us. $7.98
Throw blanket and Book: One of my favorites! Throw at Walmart $5, Book $2.99. Total $7.99
Roaster Pan: One of those things you never buy for yourself! $9.98
Baking Basket: $10.50
Family Movie Night: Always a big hit at our house, $11
Simple Start: Mini car starter, clearanced at Walmart for $10 (was $22) they had a TON!
Grandparent potted gift: $4.50
Lunch Box: filled with camping supplies $10.48
This is a gift I did for a teen boy. What do you buy them under $100?
This basket has a Sports illustrated, notebook, sunglasses, shampoo, deodorant, playing cards, and mouth wash. Is it just me or are they obsessed with smelling good? This basket was the most expensive at $11.50

The Grandparent flower pot was the cheapest and I think turned out the cutest!
I took a $1 terra cotta pot from the $$ store. Painted it white, took my 3 year olds foot and painted it brown, turned it upside down and stamped it on the pot. Then I took her hands and painted them brown to make the antlers of the reindeer and stamped those on. Gave him some eyes and a red nose, wrote Merry Christmas on it, got a $3.50 poinsettia from Walmart and you have a cute gift!
The Family Movie basket is another favorite. It is so easy to do. I got the cute popcorn basket from the $.99 store. But, you can get a clean one from the movie theatre as well. Filled it with movie candy, microwave popcorn and a good family movie, so easy and cheap. My kids love getting things like this, they make sure we use it.

The Baking Basket was my girls favorite. From the Dollar Tree I got the mixing bowl, and utensils. At Randall’s I grabbed any cookie or cake mixes that sounded yummy and threw in a pot holder and you have a very nice gift for what I thought was an adult. I have changed my mind however, and I think I am going to be giving these to all the little girl birthday parties my kids get invited to!

The experience with Sherry Williams and her photographer was awesome, she was so professional and accommodating with all my kids everywhere. They didn’t phase her at all! If you want to see the program segment that Sherry put together it will be on this Friday (November 20th) on Houston KHOU channel 11 between 5am-7am, then again at 5pm and again on Saturday morning from 7am-9am.

"We have peanut butter!"

By 5 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

This past week was this little girls birthday. She is my mini Martha Stewart.
I will spare you the entire birth story, but you aren’t going to escape without a little of it : )
This was my best labor, not easiest but best. Maybe because I was becoming a ‘professional’ by the 4th or maybe it was just her! I was totally in the groove. I sat in the dark in the middle of the night in my office working quietly through each contraction. When they were about 3min apart I had my husband call the midwife and we met her at the birth center about 15min later. I labored for another few hours in a rocking chair and in the shower. Feeling just completely in control. It was really amazing. It was one of those life changing experiences where you feel like you are outside your body. I was totally in the zone.
But when it came time to push we started to have problems. I could not find a good position to get into so I ended up on my hands and knees. Her cord was wrapped so tightly around her neck and body it was impossible for the midwife to pull it off. They had to cut and clamp the cord before her head was completely out, which means the baby was not receiving anymore oxygen and she had to be born immediately. Before I knew what was happening the nurse and midwife had the baby born and whisked away for oxygen.
I had worked so hard for this perfect delivery I was stunned at the ending. But as soon as I saw that baby I was so madly in love that nothing else mattered.
I am so lucky to be her Mother. She is so talented and smart. She is such a bright spot in the day.
Tonight she went over to a friends house, she noticed a pile of coupons at this Woman’s house. Avery asked the lady if she could have some coupons ( I am still horrified!)  and brought them home and spent the past hour cutting them out… she held up a coupon and said…
“We have peanut butter!”
Happy Birthday Baby!

This post and picture is from Money Saving Mom, I wanted you to see what a great deal she got on Christmas Cards! Guess what arrived via FedEx yesterday? Our Christmas photo cards from SeeHere–all 100 of them, including envelopes.
Guess how much I paid for them? $0.00
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Not even a penny for shipping.
Y’all need to go jump on this deal, if you haven’t already, as it’s only good through November 30, 2009. If you’re not planning to send out Christmas cards this year, you could use these as gift tags. Or use the codes to create birth announcements. Or come up with another creative idea for these totally free photo cards!
Here’s how to get 100 custom photo cards with envelopes for free:
::Just go here to set up an account with SeeHere (or login if you already have an account) and then upload and create your photo card. Mine took me about 30 minutes to put together–but that’s because I had to wade through photos and figure out which ones to use!

::After you’ve set up your photo card, be sure to save it. Then put 50 photo cards in your cart and go to the checkout and use coupon codenewbaby and you’ll get all 50 free with free shipping.

::Log back in and click on your saved items and order another 50 photo cards this time using the coupon code from Freebies4Mom here. Again, you should get 50 more free photo cards with free shipping.

And that’s it! Mine arrived within 3 business days of ordering via FedEx. I was thoroughly impressed, to say the least!
Need some custom address labels to go with the photo cards? Order 140 herefor only $3 shipped
