Muffin Tin Monday Gift Idea!

As I posted here and here, I've started planning Muffin meals for Bubba lately. It's a really fun way to serve meals to him and helps him eat more of his food!

I got to thinking that this could make a great, creative gift for other moms of toddlers (between my family and my husband's, we have a few!). I know of a few moms who really struggle with getting their kiddos to eat well.

So, I thought - What about buying some muffin tins in fun shapes and colors and including a booklet of different muffin tin meal ideas! Her Cup Overfloweth has a ton of ideas you might use!

Also, here are some fun muffin tin options from Amazon (I think the silicone ones are perfect for this idea with all the fun colors you can get!):

* Green Christmas tree tin for $9.50

*Blue tin for $9.99

* Same tin in orange for $9.99

* Green Flower tin for $9.99

* Blue Star tin for $9.99
* Red heart tin for $9.99

* Orange leaf and pumpkin tin for $9.99

This year, I'm on the look-out for thrifty yet fun and easy gift ideas. These accordian photo books seem to fit the bill perfectly! They are completely customizable and you can put together several in a short amount of time. It's fun to pick out different papers and ribbons for decorating the books - make several identical or personalize them for specific people!

You can give them empty to be filled with photos by the recipient or fill them with your own photos. You can make them with as few or as many pages as you like. These could be tailored to be used as Christmas cards, too, by adding pictures of your family from the year. So many options!

I have seen these given as wedding party gifts. They would also make great Mother's Day or Father's Day gifts or just something fun to give for any occassion!
