Christmas Gifts $10 and Under
Christmas can be hard to make happen while in law school. We never have a ton of money to spend on Christmas, but we still have lots of people to buy for. Here are some fun ideas for under $10.
For the Whole Family:
We have gone to Portrait Innovations every year so far to get a family picture taken. You get a ton of pictures for $9.95. There are no other fees! With that $9.95 we have a gift for my parents, the in-laws, the grandparents, and really anyone else you want to give them to! We give the bigger ones to the parents, the midsized ones to the grandparents, and the wallets in a Christmas card to all the brothers and sisters. Who doesn't like a picture, right? The closest location is at the shops at Riverwoods 4801 N University Ave Provo, UT 84604-5573 (801) 426-2697. Here is the website and a list of what pictures and sizes you get.
For a Sister or a Friend:
My sister just got this wallet from Target and I love it! Only $9.99. Not bad, and it comes in several colors. Target has some pretty good prices on some cute jewelry too. Make sure and check out the dollar bins too!
I also like these headbands from Everything Goes. They are $10. A friend of a friend makes them and I think they are so cute!
For a child:
Last year we bought this tent for our kids from Ikea for $9.99. They loved it! It comes apart nicely and fits under a bed.
We also got this train set from Ikea. This set is $9.99. It's quite a bit cheaper than the name brand trains and we have been happy with it.
For a Brother or a Friend:
This may sound a little ghetto, but last year we gave a couple people used books from amazon. If you have a favorite book that you would like to give you can search on Amazon and check out the used prices. We gave this book and got it for about $8.
That's all I got for now! If you have any ideas let me know!

Tips for Surviving Finals
I think no matter what year your husband is in school, finals time can be hard! I thought I would share some of the things that have helped my husband and I get through them in the past. Please share any ideas you have!
- Plan something fun for when one final is over or for when all of finals are over or both. I feel like this gives us both something to look forward to and something else to focus on besides time apart. This year we are going to Jump On It after his first final is over. He only has two this year, (yay) so when his last one is over, we are going to Las Vegas for a night!
- Hang out with other Law Partners! There are lots of planned activities that you can attend or plan one yourself! I am all for a play date at my house if you are interested! I have a 3 year old and a one year old who are quite bored with just me!
- Find a new hobby that takes up a lot of your time like blogging, sewing, organizing your pictures on your computer (currently doing), or organizing your itunes account (currently doing).
- Make a finals survival kit for your husband. At the beginning of finals week you could give him some healthy snacks and some unhealthy snacks, a highlighter, ear plugs, tabs (my husband swears by these), travel size tylenol, $10 to his signature card so he can get snacks at the vending machines or any of the restaurants on campus, or even just surprise him with cookies on his carrel.

Headband Party
I'm thinking about attending a headband party December 3 from 6:30pm-9pm. The creator behind all these darling headbands is Carrie with Navy Perl. Her GMa used to own a vintage fabric shop back in the 70's, so you can only imagine how amazing the fabric is that she uses. There are so many different styles to choose from!!
Let me know if you are interested in going with me! It's at an old friend's house of mine and I am thinking they will make cute gifts!
