Mom may have already posted about this in the past, but just in case she hasn't, I thought I would share. She did this for Kimberly and I several years ago. Since then, I've done it for a few family members. It's a lot of fun to put together and lots of fun for the recipient, as well!
Gather up 12 presents - small, large, anything! Some ideas are Christmas tissues, decorative towels, mug with hot chocolate mix, gift cards, books, socks, kitchen items, just to name a few. This niece-in-law is expecting so it was even more fun throwing in a few special surprises for my expected great niece who will be here in the spring! Wrap up each present, individually and place them in a large box.
Attach a note or a little poem describing how the recipient should open one package every day. Sorry this is sideways. I can't get it to change!
Merry Christmas to YOU!
Fun! Similar to a moving away gift for a family we have done. 12 people each picked a month of the year and got them a gift associated with that month. All put into a laundry basket and on the first day of that month they were able to open up a gift from "Home."
