Fast track to getting the gifts for the Celebrate Christ Cards...25 Ways in 25 Days

I've been shopping for my gifts for the Celebrate Christ...25 Ways in 25 Days and thought I'd post what I've found where, so if you like the ideas, it will save you time. When you buy from Oriental Trading Online, you'll see that many of the gifts are really reasonably priced, and come in sets of 6 or 12, which is great because you can get together with a few friends and you'll all have what you need very inexpensively...or just save them for future years if you have extras.

• From Oriental Trading you can find:
• Day 1 and 25... nativity gift ideas.
• For Day 3... frog craft ideas.
• For Day 5... gingerbread house ideas.
• For Day 8... Crayola modeling clay. (I saw a 5 stack of fun dough for $1 in Target's dollar bins)
• For Day 10... icicle ornament (a book about weather would be great too)

• For Day 20... angel photo ornament.

• For Day 17...box of 20 sticks of sidewalk chalk (for those of you in colder climates--crayons/markers and drawing paper works too)
• From Walgreens:
