Plants, Great Presents for Housewarming

Almost 2 years ago, we had a housewarming party for our newly built house. We invited friends over to share this special moment with us. I did almost all the preparation from cleaning and tidying the house, to cooking foods and sending invitations. To save us from spending more money and time, this housewarming party was also a birthday party for my son. Since it was a one party rolled into two occasions, we got a lot of presents. Jacob received birthday presents, and I got housewarming plants, and home decor presents from my friends :-). With what we did, we all saved time, money and gas, lol. Anyway, I always thank God for the blessings He sends us today..and everyday! Oh and by the way, did I forget to mention that I love those housewarming plants; to this day, they are still alive and add beauty in my house. Thank you again, my friends :-).

Use Mailing Tubes for Presents

Mailing gifts for family and friends can be quite expensive nowadays. I still cannot believe that we spent more than thirty hundred bucks just on gifts and shipping alone! It is because we didn't think of how much the gifts would weight when we bought them. Thus, when it was time to mail them, we were surprise, but we don't have any but to mail them since it wouldn't get there just in time for Christmas had we exchange them or shop again for lighter gifts. Oh well, we learned our lessons well last year. Now, I plan on buying calendar  fosters where I can place it inside the mailing tubes. It would be a useful customized gifts that everyone would enjoy and use for the rest of the year, not to mention less expensive and cheaper mailing price. Sounds like a good plan for me. What do you think?
