Gearing Up for the Holidays!

I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is just a couple of short weeks away, with Christmas hot on it's heels! This year has flown by so quickly!

I have some great ideas for creating holiday treats on a shoestring budget. Come out looking like a gourmet!

I found some great articles about how to make Chocolate Dipped Oreos. It's so easy, and they look great! I like this article because it shows you how to make pretty red and green drizzles over the top to decorate your dipped Oreos. I like how this one uses sticks to dip them. I think i would use lollipop sticks instead of the popsicle sticks and maybe even take them out at the end and fill the holes in with chocolate.

I also found just the right sized, food safe, FDA approved, baggies to put them in at Cello in a Box. They also come with an instruction sheet. Check out item # 1883. You get 50 bags and the instructions for just $3.25! That's about 10 gifts for under $10!

Cello in a Box also has other great Do-It-Yourself (DIY) gift ideas, such as chocolate dipped marshmallow gifts, dipped pretzels, and even gift ideas for the four legged friends on your Christmas list!
