Before we go forward with the giveaway, I thought I would share some last minute gift ideas. I was thinking about what to do this year to exercise a little generosity with my girls. We have a lot of homeless men and women around certain intersections where we live. They are usually standing in the cold and holding a sign. My heart always goes out to them but I never know what to do. I came across this idea awhile ago to make little blessing bags to keep handy in the car to hand out when you see someone in need. I thought it would be a fun activity to hit up Target with my girls and pick out items to go in the bags.
Here are some ideas I came up with:
Larabars
Deodorant
Chapstick
Tissues
Crackers
Hand Sanitizer
Gloves
Gum
Hand Warmers
Target Gift Card
Some other ideas would be:
Applesauce Cups
Toothbrush
A Card
Mini Bible
Pens
Fast Food Gift Card
By the way, have you discovered the Target Cartwheel app? I'm obsessed! I love finding deals. I'm sure a ton of this stuff will be on sale with that app. Also, you can load and reload e-gift cards on it.
And now for the giveaway! Enter below using the Rafflecopter widget.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is to put coffee, coffee syrup, and mugs in a gift bag.
ReplyDeleteThe gift card would be great for socks and gloves. We always have strange weather in my city. It's freezing this morning and it was in the 70s last week.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!!! I'd love to use my Target giftcard to put together some of these blessing bags.
ReplyDeleteThe church collects food and clothing items and Target would have a good supply for that.

ReplyDeleteI would buy presents for all my loved ones. They deserve more.
ReplyDeleteTheir dollar section is great for doing projects like Angel Tree or Operation Christmas Child.

ReplyDeleteI would buy cat food for the rescue cats on my back porch.
ReplyDeleteI would get food for the food bank
ReplyDeleteSome other ideas would be shampoo, soap, or some healthy food like nuts or dried fruit.
ReplyDeleteI like to find cute little add ons I can add to the Angel tree presents my daughter and I pick out. We like to add a little extra gift or two to hopefully make the holiday a bit brighter for the receiver :)
ReplyDeleteA gift card is always generous.. My friend also runs an animal shelter and they're always in need of donations! Target has many wonderful pets brands that they would love to have donated!

ReplyDeleteI saw someone else mention the same... but I usually always get items from Target to fulfill the wish of a few children who are on the "Angel Tree" at my church. (usually a new outfit & a toy) These are children whose parent(s) is in jail and need some cheering-up during Christmastime.
