Half the fun of holiday presents is looking at them under the tree for weeks and wondering what's inside. So take some time to make those gifts look great in order to up the anticipation. These boxes should go a long way towards that goal....

What a memorable baby gift! This is one of those crafty things parents "always mean to do" but then life gets away from them and before they know it, the kids are all grown up.

So this holiday season, give someone something to treasure- a kit that will capture the beauty of the most precious gift of all- their children.

Crayola Classpack Colored Pencils ~ 12 Colors (pk/240)~

First to recommend

Description

from the site:
240 Crayola® Colored Pencils at a Great Value!

* Fine-point, Crayola® colored pencils
* Non-Toxic
* 12 Bright Colors
* Easy to Distribute Display Box.

Twenty each of 12 colors: black, blue, violet, orange, red, green, white, yellow, brown, sky blue, red-orange and yellow-green.

Several years ago I wised up and started visiting teacher's' school supply/educational resource sites (especially the Clearance links) for bulk purchasing of "the old standards" like glue sticks, Crayola markers and crayons and #2 pencils.

Not only did the one-time investment in a classroom-sized bulk box - or "classpack"- ultimately save me hundreds of dollars over yearly retail purchase prices but it also allowed me to skip the back-to-school panic of running around town filling the school supplies list and late-night meltdowns when 'Oh I forgot it was due tomorrow' art projects arise. Oh and let's not forget the "Oh my gosh, it's ten pm and I'm supposed to bring treat bags to the party tomorrow morning!" moments....

I simply walk downstairs to the basement and load up. In fact, I haven't bought a pencil, glue stick or crayon since 2002! With winter upon us and long hours of "Moooom, I'm booored" ahead, maybe it's time you had a look for yourself!

Maybe your New Year's resolution is to finally organize your family photos...
Perhaps you want to find a hostess gift that is useful for once....
Do your kids have a digital camera? Would you like to encourage creativity?
Are you tired of the time and money you spend printing and sending out holiday photos or post-party pictures to attendees?
Did you forget to buy a present and need something ASAP?

flickr.

Whether you utilize the ample storage of a free account or purchase a $25 Pro Upgrade as a present for yourself or someone you know, this is one of the best sites online for organizing, sharing, printing and customizing gifts that utilize your digital images.

So instead of printing and mailing all of the Christmas Eve pictures to Aunt Edna, email her your online gallery address and let her pick the sizes she wants.

And be sure to check out the online groups on flickr. You can explore the world and your personal interests from your own desk.

Consider buying a Pro Account for your teenager or husband and using the print-out as a fabulous stocking stuffer. Or wrapping it in a lovely ribbon and presenting it to the hostess of a holiday party you attended. She'll be thrilled to have such an easy way to share the pictures from that night- and other attendees can upload their for her as well.

It's a great thing, flickr. Really great. (via Click Here to Buy Flickr Pro as a Gift)
