Christmas For Tiny Homes

My family and just got our first home. We lived in good sized apartments and supper tiny ones. Do you have a tiny home, an itty bitty apartment, a small dwelling, an RV, camper, just a room but still want to celebrate Christmas? Christmas doesn't have to be a huge tree and thirteen foot high pile of presents. You can Have a mini fake tree or not have a tree at all. Christmas decorations, and can be an appropriate size for your living space. Even a mid sized to large home can feel even bigger.

1. Make a list of what decorations you already have, what you need to get rid of and what you need to acquire through purchase, making, or barter.

2. Look for tiny gifts with big impact. Make sure gifts for children are still age appropriate.

3. Think tiny practical gifts like mugs, as with no form or space such as mp3 and kindle books.

4. Have a holiday shelf instead of decorating the whole house. I'd rather spend my Christmas money on gifts anyway.

5. If you are getting a Christmas tree instead of a big one consider one that can fit on the tabletop.

Wacky and Fun Gifts for the Home Chef

Do you have a home chef that has almost everything?

These gifts are strange, odd, wild, and silly gifts for the home chef. Want to give them something extra with their main gifts, some stocking stuffers, or other christmas filler. Want to get a little something for your self. A few of these gifts are less wacky than cute

Fred

Fred has some of the kitschy kitchen stuff out there. I will admit I want these for my birthday, or mother's day, christmas and I am no home chef.
