A handmade gift, in my opinion, is always best and meant someone spent time on my behalf. Handmade gifts are often (but not always) a less expensive option than store bought things.
Wouldn’t it be great if come December we had things all ready so we could focus on family, the season and other things? Wouldn’t it be nice if next time we remembered a birthday or needed a get well gift we could go to our stash and have something ready?
Let’s Do This!

The reason behind this event: My mom always had a colossal upright dresser full of miscellaneous items to use for gifts. Each drawer had interesting odds and ends she had collected over time. (I would add a fun statement listing some of the more interesting items you have found in her dresser). My thoughts revert to that wondrous dresser every time I need a gift at the last minute.
Over the years, I have tried stashing away items in my own version of mom’s dresser. My plastic bins from Wal-Mart are far from her beautiful antique dresser, but they have helped keep all the items in one place. For a while, I was buying things, stashing them in random places, and finding them when it was too late. I often found myself wishing I had found that one wonderful item just a few weeks earlier. I would think to myself, “Oh shoot, that would have been the most eccentric gift for my sister” or similar.
Every Christmas, no matter how great my intentions throughout the year, two things would happen: I would spend family time working on gifts at the last minute, causing enormous stress (to the entire family), and I would wish I had kept up with my intentions to harbor amazing gifts throughout the year.
