From the comments and emails I’ve gotten yesterday, y’all seem to be just as excited as I am about the HBHW advent calendar idea. I sat down last night and planned it all out through Christmas Eve … and I have a special surprise planned for the last one.

Today I thought we’d continue to focus on frugal gift ideas. I’m always looking for meaningful gifts that don’t cost much. They are perfect for teachers, neighbors, the mail person etc. But it doesn’t have to stop there… even close loved ones appreciate a gift from the heart that you thought about and made. It’s often more valuable than an expensive one.
