Decorate Christmas Cookies

You don’t even have to bake them from scratch. Honestly, the most fun part about Christmas cookies is the decorating part.

So, whether you pull out that Kitchenaid and Gramma’s snickerdoodle recipe, or you purchase a tray of pre-baked cookies, set out the frostings and sprinkles and get the family decorating.

You can even put the results online as a poll and have your friends vote for a winner!

Donate to Local Food Pantry or Angel Tree

Remember, it’s not just Thanksgiving Day that tells us to slow down and be grateful for what we have. It’s the whole holiday season that is a wonderful time to give back!

Donating to your local food pantry (time, money, or food — your choice) is a great family activity that everyone can join in. Or give gifts to an Angel Tree and know that your little offering made a foster child happy. 

Go Christmas Caroling

It’s a classic holiday tradition for a reason: it makes the singers and the audience jolly! Get your family and friends together, print out some Christmas carols, bundle up, and deck the neighborhood’s halls!

Mail Christmas Cards

It seems like I don’t get as many in the mail these days and it’s likely because it’s easier and less expensive to just put a holiday greeting on your social media. But getting old fashioned mail is so much fun!

Pony up for a couple of books of Santa stamps, and send out some Christmas cards this year. 

Have Fun Ice Skating

It doesn’t matter if you’re any good (just wear some padding!). Going ice skating as a family is such a fun activity.

And of course, just like with bowling, half the fun is the snacks. So, don’t forget the thermoses of hot cocoa and some cookies!

Count Down with an Advent Calendar

Little kids and big ones, too, love the fun of an Advent calendar! There are so many great ones to choose from, and they aren’t all the predictable chocolate ones.

Although who would turn up their nose at chocolate?

Visit Santa Claus

Ask around for who has the best Santa (hint: it’s not always the mall) and go see the big elf together!

It doesn’t matter if your little ones are getting “too old” for Saint Nick — it’s always fun to pose for pictures and tell him what you want for Christmas!

Celebrate Jolabokaflod

This Icelandic practice definitely needs to be a new American tradition!

It basically translates to “Christmas book flood,” and it’s just as fun as it sounds: everyone gifts books to one another on Christmas Eve and the night is spent reading them.

Sounds heavenly to this bookworm!

Make a Gingerbread House

You can go all from scratch or buy a kit. However you want to do it, the decorating is the fun part! Sure, they never turn out quite Pinterest worthy, but that’s part of the charm! For extra fun, have your family members and friends vote for a favorite.

13. Luxury Wool Clothing

Roll up the swankiest of luxury wool clothing into an instantly classic gift idea for him! Choose some warm and cozy socks, or a posh scarf to complete his winter ensemble. Sure, it’s a generalization and not true across the board, but most men hate clothes shopping.

What he does with them next is up to his imagination! Maybe pair this gift with a notepad to write down his best recipes. 

15. Beard Comb & Brush

Keep that epic beard healthy, glowing, and growing! When he has this beard comb and brush, he just might spend more than twenty seconds in the bathroom getting ready in the morning.

Personalized with their favorite color and two lines of text, this ultra-plush Follow Your Dreams blanket will be their new favorite fall and winter accessory! Can a blanket be an accessory? We think yes.

They’re water resistant and you can peel and stick (and also re-peel and re-stick). Just too cute for words.

30. Beautiful Floral Bouquet

Flowers are a classic gift for a reason: they’re gorgeous and smell delightful. Just like your lady! She’ll love having a stunning bouquet delivered to her class, work space, or home. Pick her favorite colors and varieties and you’ll have a real winner on your hands. So romantic.

Everyone knows how financially difficult it is to enter college (or even leave… *cries, thinking of debt*).

Make a money cake tower that will blow their minds! Everyone at the party will be wowed by this celebratory cake, and you’ll look like a rock star.

Read on for some inspiring gift ideas that start with j that will make you totally excited for the next birthday, anniversary, or holiday season.

Featured Gift: Hurom Juicer

For the ultimate gift idea that starts with J, consider giving a premium quality juicer!

The Hurom H400 Easy Clean Juicer is a revelation. Sleek and modern, it looks great. Tall and thin, it stores easily and takes up little counterspace. It juices effortlessly, and cleans like a breeze.

We’ve used a cheap juicer (similar to this one) for years. While it was inexpensive and got the job done, it was loud, bulky, hard to manage, and had a million pieces to clean. It was tough to store, too, because some parts didn’t fully connect to the main body of the machine.

The Hurom H400 is leagues apart from that experience. It is much quieter, working at a reasonable decibel level. The juice is less pulpy, the components fit together nicely, and you can continue to feed it as it runs. The cleanup is effortless.

All in all, if your letter J gift is going to be a juicer, this is the Lamborghini of juice machines!
