I wanted to post a reminder about the FREE one month trial of Amazon Prime if you have never tried it. I will continue to post any hot Amazon deals that I find and if you have Prime, you’ll have until 7 pm EST on Friday (12/21) to order them in time for Christmas.

Don’t let the fact that it is a one month free trial turn you away.  Just follow these two steps and you won’t even have to remember to cancel your membership:

  • Click here and fill out the information to sign up.
  • Once you’re signed up, just go to your account page.  Under Settings, click on “Manage Prime Membership”.  Then click on “Do Not Upgrade”.

Your one-month membership will automatically end after the trial period with nothing ever billed to you.

I am actually a paying member of Amazon Prime because I do so much shopping on Amazon.  Their prices so often beat everyone else that it just makes sense to me!

The Dollar Store Diva: Wishing You a Merry Christmas and a Fruitful New Year!

Here’s the final installment in the Dollar Store Diva’s Holiday Gift Giving series.  She’s saving the day yet again with a simple yet LOVELY gift idea that will only take a few minutes (and a few dollars!) to create.

***

Fruit baskets are usually a welcomed gift, but often the amount of fruit is overwhelming. I decided to make a cute little mini-version.

Bassket

I like the shabby-chic look of this fit-in-your-hand-lunch-bag “basket”. [As in FREE.] I started folding the bag down from the top, over and over, until  it created a “basket’ about 3” high.

One apple

one pear

and a few Hershey Kisses

all fit nicely on a bed of brown paper shreds I had sliced with my trimmer from another bag. [Once again, as in FREE.]

All I had to do then was to wrap the “basket” with a fat ribbon, tie a bow, and slip in this Fruit Basket Printable Card. [Yup, you guessed it: FREE.]

For a second mini-fruit basket, I filled a pretty little glass bowl from the Dollar Store with a strand of red tinsel garland, then added three pieces of  fresh fruit–an apple, a pear, and an orange–and a few Kisses. Finally, I wrapped it all with cello wrap, tied it with some curly ribbon, and attached the same Fruit Basket Printable Card.

I took it to my beautician today.

She loved it.

Wouldn’t a teacher also love a gift like this? Or a ________________, or ____________________, or ________________. [You fill in the blanks. You can even put my name in one of the blanks.]

And I really do wish all of you a

 Merry Christmas

and a

Fruitful New Year!
