Family Christmas Gift Guides and Advent Ideas

Family Christmas gift guides and advent ideas are here! This is just what it says—a guide. It is designed to help jog your memory or stir up your creative side to find the perfect gift for those on your shopping list this year. I have also included a few options for family advent. Two of these I own and one of them looks really good. The guides contain affiliate links, so I get a small commission if you check out within 24 hours of putting the item in your cart.

First up are guides for mostly the $20 price range. A few items are just over $20.

Dino truck/ linking toys/ magnetic tiles/ fidget toys/children’s food prep set/ rocket bath bombs/light up baseball

Eco dot owl/ transformer/ play dough kit/ board game

Tumbler/ portable charger/ phone case/ jewelry box/ pink fanny pack/ heatless curler/ white fanny pack/ mirror

journal kit/initial light/ name necklace/ wall collage/ hair wax/initial necklace

Dart game/ portable speaker/ sneaker cleaning kit/Mine craft uno/ portable charger/ clock charger/ shark blanket

sussed game/ minute games/ fidget toy/ beanie/ face pads/ cross necklace/ neon game controller sign- not pictured

I hope these lists help you with your shopping this holiday season. I know we tend to stress out over the gifts. It’s up to us to show the kids that Christmas is all about being with family and renewing the hope of the newborn king. It is time to recenter our focus back on Christ. Teens have strong opinions and often buck us to see if we will buck back. They want us to show them and tell them what Christmas is all about. Here is a list of family advents to help bring everyone together this holiday season.

Let’s kick this holiday season off with a bang. Stay tuned for more recipes, gift guides, fun, and motivation!

XOXO

  • Traditions are so fun. I'm glad we could make it this year. 🎅🏻🎄❤️
  • The easiest meal prep dinner you’ll ever make. Just assemble the sliders. Pour over a butter mixture and then when I’m ready to cook it we just bake it at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes until it gets heated through and it’s warm on the inside.

Molly and I are headed to a ladies church Christmas party tonight so we had to throw together a veggie tray for that and assembled this meal for tomorrow night. I’m working a 12 hour shift tomorrow. We will be eating dinner at the party tonight and the boys are going out too. I found some really good looking Duchess potatoes in the freezer section at Walmart today. Check out my stories and I’ll show you. We’re gonna serve the sliders with those potatoes.

Do you like peppermint bark?
  • Found this gem on my phone. A day in the life if you will. Man I'm blessed. When your going through the motions it may feel mundain. Hindsight being what it is, I love those days where I get stuff done and get to hangout with my people. 🎄

  • Its Friday!

Molly and I are making Christmas treats today. We will post some in stories as we make them. I forgot I have a hair appointment smack dab in the middle of the day. I better get moving.

  • I have a lot of themed trees but this one is my favorite 😍

  • if you don’t have a full-size Christmas tree in your bedroom, you gotta do it. I bought this tree at 75% off at Lowe’s the week before Christmas last year. I’m definitely gonna go back this year and see about getting another tree for the dining room. And if you don’t think you have the room, trust me, you probably do. Just shove whatever’s in that corner in your closet. I promise you it will be worth it.
If you have to eat Ramen noodles for a week to be able to afford it, I promise you it will be worth it 🤣

this tree brings me so much joy ☺️

I was so close to not buying it last year because it was the week before Christmas and I really did not want to spend the $85. But I’m so glad I did!

  • Cover any existing decorative pillow with a pillow cover! You do not need to buy the whole pillow. Just buy a cover to fit an existing pillow. It saves space and money!

I found these covers after Christmas last year for less than $10 a piece.

  • What a great gift these will make! So easy to make. Don't throw away those old coffee mugs or tea cups. I stead, make candles! Stay too Ed for step by step instructions from yours truly. The bag of wax has a great tutorial on it as well. Check my stories and highlights for the supplies.
