The list can seem to be never-ending at times. I think we all need to simplify when it comes to the holidays. BUT, I also know that I like giving gifts to those that are near and dear to my heart. I just hate the whole "she got me a gift, so I need to have one for her." I hate having a surprise guest or event come up and you aren't prepared with a small token of the season.
Well, fear not...Kierste @ Brown Paper Packages came up the neatest list ever for all those impromptu gifts that you might need. They require nothing fancy and do not cost a lot of money AT ALL.
1.M&M's: Have a Merry & Most Wonderful Christmas!
2.Soup or soup mix: Wishing you a "Souper" Holiday Season!
3.Frozen or ready-to-bake pizza: Warm up to a wonderful holiday season, "topped" with Christmas cheer! OR...Hope your holiday has a lot of "pizza-az"!

5.Popcorn balls: Here's hoping you have a "ball" this year!
6.Loaf of bread: For being there when you were "kneaded", for "rising" to the occasion, large or small. For never "loafing" on the job, for helping others to "heel". No matter how you "slice" it, you do a terrific job. Merry Christmas!

Great ideas. You can have these things on hand and if you don't use them you can eat them yourself. Happy Holidays.
