Had a short work day today so once I got home I thought I work on some stocking stuffer coupons for Bee and C. Coupons are easy to make, inexpensive, and fun to give :) You can choose to be creative or simple. The best part is that you can personalize each coupon !!! At our house, they proved to be very popular (favorite) with my hubby. He even tried to use the same coupon twice !!! I usually make one book for C every year but it's my first time making a coupons book for Bee this year. We'll see how she respond when she check her stocking come Christmas morning.
I try to make each coupon unique and special as I really want Bee and hubby to enjoy them ! For C, I know he appreciates some alone time to play his musical instruments, sleep in on Saturday (who doesn't ?), movie date, and no chore day, so his coupons tends to tailored to what I know he would really like. I also included a coupon for a day trip to a location of his choice. Bee likes different activities and outings so I made her coupons to include field trip, snowman building, candy treat, swimming, a sleepover at a hotel (she loves sleeping at hotel (she associates it with pool = plenty of swimming time)) and I gave some blank ones to C to fill out for her (I saw he wrote a coupon for a brunch date with him :)

I'm in love with this wood round center piece (from our friend's wedding). The wood & greeneries are simply beautiful. |
I made Bee's coupons book's cover with picture of My Little Ponies. She loves them ! I wanted to use a picture of each pony on her coupon but there weren't many quality winter theme images so I stuck with Christmas theme. They're quite cute !!! For C I used pictures of Forever Friends' teddy bear ! I drew him one in my art class back in 1994 (with Chinese characters as I was obsess with all things Chinese then ! my cassette tapes were filled with songs from Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Jacky Cheung & Aaron Kwok). It was my first gift to C which he framed it up on his room then and now it's in Bee's room. I thought it's nice to revisit the memory of that bear again.
Here are the pdf files of the designs I made. Feel free to print and make your own coupons book. Enjoy !
