Thank you to Thirty-One Gifts for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own.
If you follow my reviews regularly or even semi-regularly, you will know of my love for Thirty-One Gifts. As soon as I started thinking about the gifts I wanted to give this holiday season, I knew products from Thirty-One Gifts were going to be involved.
I have five nieces and nephews. When you add my two daughters, that makes seven kids between the ages of 2 years old and 11 years old. For Christmas, I like to give all the kids similar gifts. This year, I decided to get them each a personalized Littles Carry-All Caddy. Thirty-One Gifts has several patterns and embroidery options. I was able to choose a unique Caddy, font and thread color for each of the seven kids. (I messed up on Savannah’s Caddy pattern. Her replacement it on its way.)
I could have stopped with just giving each kid their personalized Littles Carry-All Caddy, but I decided to place a few things inside each of them. I saw on Pinterest, that if you draw on a ceramic mug with Sharpies, and then bake it, the image becomes permanent. I loved this idea so I got each of the kids a ceramic mug and set of three Sharpies. After they have decorated their mugs, they can use them to drink the hot chocolate mix I included along with a peppermint stirring stick. I still have a little bit of room in the caddies. I think I will add a pair of holiday socks and gloves to each of them. I can’t wait to see the kids reactions. (Shhh…don’t tell my daughters they are getting these too. They think we just made them for the cousins.)
I also got two holiday Mini Storage Bins. For the last few years, my family has created gift bags for two kids in our community who are facing difficult times. We work with our schools’ Dean of Students to select the kids. We keep it completely anonymous. We don’t need to know their names and we rather they didn’t know ours. What is important is that two kids get a few special things to open on Christmas morning. This year, I am placing their gifts in holiday Mini Storage Bins. When I told my contact at Thirty-One Gifts what I was planning, she graciously asked if she too could include a few things. Wasn’t that kind and thoughtful?! I just love this brand! For the sake of staying anonymous, I am not going to show you my bins or what I have placed in them….just in case someone in my community is reading this. I will, however, show you stock images (above) of these adorable holiday Mini Storage Bins. They are a great size and have many possible uses!

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
