Where deals add up!
Are thinking of getting in shape before the holidays? Maybe you know a fitness buff that would like this hot workout as a Christmas gift. Amazon’s Video Game Deal of the Day is for Zumba Fitness. You can get the Wii version for $25 or the Xbox 360 Kinect version for $31.25.
I’ve tried Zumba and it will give you a workout while having fun.
First up is a project I did last night after a quick run to my local dollar store. What teacher wouldn’t love a Mod Podge Clipboard made by your child.
Items needed:
Now you can add decorative ribbon with a pen or marker attached to spruce it up a notch. I didn’t add that since this was just for show & tell purposes.
Check out this other gift ideas I found around the internet!
What type of gift will you be making this year for your child’s teacher? I’d love for you to share so we can all get ideas. Remember you can make these gifts for anyone regardless if you have kids or not.
I recently asked my Facebook readers to share their business creations with me so that I could share with you and so far it’s off to a great start!
I would like to introduce to you RayDazzled Expressions from sunny Florida! RayDazzled Expressions is a flip flop diva’s best friend with their oh so cute custom flip flops!
Even though they are in FL, Rayshel assured me that they ship throughout the US. So if you see something you like or want custom made, be sure to chat Rayshel from RayDazzled Expressions up. And just so you know she does shirts and hats too! Check out this cute Gators shirt and hat she did for local (FL) Gator fans.
Be sure to tell her the The Coupon GIrl sent you so she knows where you found her at! 
I did a similar coaster project two years ago at Christmas and I wish I would’ve taken pictures to show the variety you can do with this project. I always try to do at least one DIY Christmas project every year it’s so fun and rewarding to give something made from the heart. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!
Okay it’s official I am doing a daily DIY post because I love making my own things. Plus it gives me a creative outlet in looking and ‘archiving’ if you will, projects I want to do once life resumes to normal again over here. So… On with the DIY Daily project…
DIY Terra Cotta Coasters - Sweet Charli
This is a wonderful project to make either for yourself or as a gift and costs about $1 per coaster unless you find a great deal on the small terra cotta saucers. I have found 2 tutorials on this since I don’t have mine around and rarely take pictures of anything.
DIY Terra Cotta Coasters - Joy is at Home
I added images from both tutorials so you could see the contrast for those of you that are visual. How pretty would these be to use at your next party or to pass out as gifts? When I do projects like this I usually make extras in case an extra person shows up as an invited guest of loved one. Nothing is sweeter than having a gift ready for a loved ones last minute guest and what a way to say ‘Welcome to our home and family’.
I dare you to make a set this weekend and come back and post your masterpiece.
Stay tuned tomorrow for a budget friendly DIY Baby Leg Warmers project…
