Pamper Love Notes

After a year like 2020 I think we all deserve some pampering!  This Love Note would be perfect for thinking of you gifts, friends, loved ones, family, neighbors, or anyone that you know that has had a rough year.

I love my clear cellophane bags and use them all the time.  Use bag filler or crinkle cut paper in the bottom then fill to your hearts content!  Some of my favorite pampering essentials lately include:  a pumice stone, blue light glasses, bath bombs, shower cap, sheet masks, scrunchies, and hand lotion.

I got most of these for Christmas and have honestly loved them all!  I love gifts like that, things you actually use and love!

I also love the options of a cute clutch that can be used later in a purse or home to contain lots of little things, also making it perfect for gifts!  Fill it with my favorite NYX Butter Glosses, bath bomb or EOS lip butter.

Seriously you can make this as cheap or expensive as you want.  Think a gift card for a manicure, pedicure, massage, facial, etc.  they all sound so dreamy right!

Kiss this Year Goodbye! Love Note

I didn't plan to roll out a Love Note any time soon but when I want to give a small gift I just have to have a tag, and if I don't have another one in mind, I create it!  And then I think, maybe others would like this too?  So hopefully you do!

If there was ever a year to kiss goodbye, I'm pretty sure 2020 is it! haha  Wouldn't you love getting this from your minister-er, friend, or neighbor?  

You could fill a small bag with Hershey's Kisses, Always Lipgloss, my favorite NYX butter gloss (this color is Creme Brûlée), an EOS lip balm or Covergirl Lip product.  Or just tie up one lip product and attach the tag.  

Every one always needs a new lipgloss!  What better way to ring in the new year with a fun new tube!

I had a little hang up on wording.  I still think it should say KISS this year goodbye!  And maybe one day it will. haha but until then hopefully you still like it.

And I didn't know whether to put THIS year or LAST year.  So I did both!  Then you can have options and who doesn't love options!

Even if you don't want to print the tags you've got to check out NYX Butter Glosses, they are my favorite lip product for sure!! Happy New Year!! Here's to a better year ahead.

December Love Note-He is the GIFT

 I wanted to round out the year with sharing one last monthly Love Note.  I'm not sure what next year has in store for this little old blog.  I have lots of ideas with recipes, parties, kid activities and so on...so let's see how they all turn out.  Instead of monthly I might do Seasonal/Quarterly Love Notes.  We'll see!  They just take a really long time to create and post.  If you use my Love Notes let me know and I'll be more motivated to keep going!

This month I'm sharing an oldie but a goodie!  I made these for my Singles Ward Relief Society when I was in the RS Presidency for Christmas gifts for each of the women.  It was simple but reminded them of the true meaning of Christmas which I love!  

I got some Peppermint Joe Joe's at Trader Joe's and dipped them in milk or white chocolate, then topped them with different toppings, crushed peppermint, drizzled chocolate, etc. BE WARE of the Gluten Free Peppermint Joe Joe's!  We accidentally got a box a year ago and they are nasty! If you're not near a TJ"s obviously use Oreo's!  I used THESE bags to package each individual cookie.  then just tape the top down in the back.  I separated the picture from the cookies so if people had aversions or allergies they could choose to take one or not.

Along with one dipped cookie I gave them a small 3X4 picture of Christ, I found a set from Seagull Book, I found some online HERE, or I've been able to find them in store near the pictures.  Just get a small variety pack and it will make it super easyI probably got 2 packs of pictures for under $5, which covered the main cost of the whole gift.  Then wrapped it with a small ribbon to look like a gift.  They could put the picture anywhere from their journal, car, room, fridge, the list could go on and on.

Lemon Love Notes

I thought I'd get these Lemon Love Notes up for the last glimpse of summer!  These can obviously be given when it's not summer but it's also a great way to kiss summer goodbye and welcome in Fall and cooler temps!

There are quite a few Love Notes in this printable.  All coordinating with lemons, so many gift options!

Whenever I go to Trader Joe's it's always a fun time!  I searched for everything lemon themed.  Lemon bars (not my favorite find at TJ's sadly), Lemon kitchen hand soap, Lemon Pepper seasoning, lemon shortbread bar mix, and lemon curd (theirs is so good!)

I also LOVE decor ideas!  My mom got this cute jar at Hobby Lobby I believe and these super adorable and versatile lemons at Ikea, find a similar option HERE!  I loooove these lemon measuring cups HERE, and this or that lemon decor from Amazon!

Shoot you could even give a lemonade making kit!  Complete with a cute pitcher, lemons, and a cute wooden spoon!

Even though I wouldn't recommend TJ's Lemon Bars you could always make some from scratch, or any other lemon treat.  Or pair this sweet and sour tag with a coordinating candy, like Sour Patch Kids!

Haven't tried this Lemon Shortbread Bar Mix but love the idea of giving a gift that creates memories!  With this gratitude tag a journal and great pen would be such a great gift to start a gratitude journal.  Saw THIS gratitude journal for such a great price, had to share!

Lemon Pepper Seasoning is such a gift that keeps on giving!  Have you had this on grilled chicken?  It's delicious!  I usually love THIS Lemon Pepper, but after looking at Lemon Pepper on Amazon I want to try this one!! Check out those reviews!

Love this Lemon Curd from TJ's!  Perfect for cookies, bars, crepes! Yum!

Loved this TJ's Lemon hand soap!  If they don't have this kind this season any of their hand soaps are great!

I mean when life gives you lemons, you know you want them to be Lemon Oreos right!?

Lemon Drops are also a another great option, or for this specific zest tag a zester that will change lives!! This zester is my favorite!

Or a bottle of Lemonade!  So perfect and straight to the point!

Love that so many colors go so well with lemon!  I especially love light pink or any shade of blue!

A box of this Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade water would be a fun family gift!

Loved this squeeze the day! bag my sister got from JoAnn!

Found these adorable lemon bowls at Dollar Tree,  don't underestimate Dollar Tree!  They have the cutest things and only for $1!

You can also find this teeny tiny candy boxes for just 25 cents at some grocery store's, I've always been able to find them at Dan's here in Utah!

Found these cute paper straws and wooden spoon at the Target Dollar spot, believe it or not!

Also found this cute little lemon chalkboard there too!

Oh and this little chalkboard too!

And the cutest lemon cellophane bags!

So fun for packaging homemade treats or breaking up store bought treats.

These tablecloths are another gift that keeps on giving!

Always, always love notepads or notecards!  

These plates and napkins are perfect for treat drops or a lemonade stand!  Found at the Target Dollar Spot!

Another Target Dollar Spot find these ceramic lemons.  So cute!

So many adorable options and so many tag options too!

Lemons & Chocolate

August has come and gone and I don't even know how that's possible!  This year is flying by and yet I feel like we're stuck in this crazy corona-filled space.  It's going to be a great day when this pandemic is just a thing kids learn about in history books.  

Pandemic or not you always need chocolate.  I think even more so during pandemics! haha Even if you can't hand back the "lemons" of life, you can always try to find some sweetness, or give some sweetness!  Chocolate is a great option! 

I love this Pound Plus bars at Trader Joe's!  Perfect for all the baking coming up this fall.

Don't have a TJ's near by?  A candy bar from the grocery store could still work perfectly with this tag.

But if you are at Trader Joe's get these Toffee Chips!! Seriously just get them and love every single one!  They are so delicious!

I love the mix of chocolate bars to make a fun gift!  Perfect for ministering sisters, ministering families, teachers, friends, family, everyone, anyone!

TJ's has so many fun chocolate things like these chocolate crisps, chocolate covered potato chips and these yummy peanut butter cups!

Also LOVING these S'mashing S'mores!  Seriously so good, the perfect bite of s'mores without the campfire and all the mess.

I love that you can pair this tag with anything chocolate OR lemon!  Or both!

So many wonderful options!

Like a lemon bar mix and a chocolate candy bar, fun pairing!

Or the best ever chocolate chips, my absolute favorite!  YUM!

Why don't you make it good quality chocolate while we're at it, like some Lindt truffles or chocolate bars.

These Lindt Lindor truffles are so delicious and perfect for snacking.

I loved this little package I made for a graduating senior this last June.  I put lemon candies at the bottom to tie in the lemon and chocolate theme.  Loved the matching colors too, details really do matter!

Or if you're avoiding the stores like me, make a batch of cookies and give a plate of homemade cookies!

This tag seriously has so many options!

If you'd like to print the "When life gives you lemons hand them back..." tag you can find it HERE!
