Today I wanted to give you 3 ideas that were great for anybody in your life: coworkers, neighbors, friends, that person who seems to have anything, etc.
This first idea is an ornament I came up with that lets us reflect on the whole year. You, your family, or whomever you are giving this ornament to can reflect and write their favorite memories….an ornament you can go back to and remember the year you’ve had.
