Last-Minute Gift Idea: Seasonings Greetings

Yum

December 21, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 28 Comments

Show your appreciation for that special someone with a little help from Zoës Kitchen and this free printable “Seasonings Greetings” from mamachallenge.com. #delivergoodness

Christmas came quick this year (as it seems to do the older you get), so are working to get your last gifts together? Don’t worry you can still do something thoughtful, but still doesn’t take much time or money to put it together? 


For me there are many people that make my world happen. From the mail man, the UPS guy, the dry cleaning lady and the gal at the gym, these people all help me make it through any given day. And although I try to say thank you, sometimes a thank you in the from of a small token of appreciation goes a lot farther. 

SeasonsGreetingsZoes

This holiday I was excited to partner with one of my favorite new restaurants, Zoës Kitchen to share how to #delivergoodness the season for their “Selfless Giving” campaign. By coupling their seasoning mix appropriate called “Spice of Life,” a $25 gift card Zoës Kitchen gift card along with this free printable from mamachallenge I had an easy gift that said “THANK YOU!” and Season(ings) Greetings! 

zoes-tag

Known for healthy and innovative menu items for every palate, Zoës Kitchen, is one of our favorite family g0-tos. And with 165 locations in 14 states (including several in the Dallas/Fort Worth area), it’s makes it easy for anyone to find a location nearby.  

Zoes-Family-Meals3-MamaChallenge

While you could make your own seasoning mix for this holiday homemade gift, Zoës Kitchen’s “Spice of Life” can make everything taste that much better. I often use this on a quick way to season veggies or roast a chicken and the kids keep coming back for more. Plus – it’s already bottled and ready for giving when you pick it up at Zoës Kitchen.

zoes-logo

For me, I wanted to #delivergoodness to those people who make a big difference in my life and thank you just doesn’t begin to say how much I appreciate them. Here’s how I shared my three of my “Seasonings Greetings” gifts: 

Coworker: Working with this coworker for 10 years, she’s not just someone I work with, she’s a friend that has shared birthdays, deaths, births, weddings and more. However, on a daily basis, she’s the one that reminds me when I forgot that action item, prints off an extra agenda when I’m running late, and continues to make me look good, when you have one of “those” mornings. 

Neighbor: Oh, this neighbor is also one of my best friends, but she was a neighbor first. She always there to borrow the sugar from, watch the kids in a last-minute pickle, and opens her home for the holidays. I can only aspire to be the hostess with the mostess like her! 

School Secretary: I wonder if anyone talks to their school secretary as much as I do. But for every time I need to pick up the kids early, drop them off late or ask them what I missed in the school newsletter, she always answers the phone with a smile. And just think, I bet I’m not the only one. With more than 600 kids at our scho0l, I bet she does the same thing for a lot of other parents. 

Here’s the printable available to be printed in small 3.5 X 5 in. size (4 per page), 9 per page, or you can “save as” to download in your own smaller size to be printed with your Seasonings Greetings gift.

Fancy Schmancy. This month’s @torchystacos Taco Fancy Schmancy.

This month’s @torchystacos Taco of the Month is this beut: she’s full of eggs, smoked salmon, pickled onions, capers, chopped dill, and the herb cream cheese. And yes she’s fancy but oh so good and worth the splurge.

Paired with a side of queso and change out the chips for chicharrones with that white queso (and maybe a Paloma), and you’re golden.

Today on @wfaagmt I shared how to make the most of those leftovers and old vegetables and fruits! The kitchen smells so good with an apple tarte tartin, truffles, potato chips, broth, banana bread, and this cilantro green sauce! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Taken from @beardfoundation:

INGREDIENTS

1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro stems (from 1 bunch of cilantro)
1⁄2 cup olive oil or neutral oil, such as organic canola or grapeseed
1⁄2 tsp ground cumin

DIRECTIONS

In a blender or the mixing cup of a small food processor or immersion blender, combine the vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Swirl a few times to dissolve the salt. Add the stems, olive oil, and cumin — puree. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

We normally head to the mountains at Christmas time, but this year we’re just happy to celebrate Christmas healthy and together with lots of wonderful trips around home including to the @gaylordtexan. So we broke from our matching plaid instead with this mom/daughter snowflake set from @shinestythreads. Most their stuff is exactly what you need to dominate the Christmas sweater game, our little bit of cheesy (cue “Let it Go...”) but came out too sweet not to share. (When they’re this age, you take it when you get it!)

Shinesty is the resource for all the holidays apparel and even does free returns! Save their page for when you need to be the talk of the party (online and in person.)

I love celebrating our holiday traditions, but this year we made a new one! I’ve always wanted to see Christmas lights by carriage ride and this year we made it happen by surprising the girls! 

We spent the night looking at beautiful houses, drinking hot chocolate under the blankets and hearing some of the best commentary from the girls!

🐴 There are several different carriage ride companies (we used Whitehaven Carriages) that drive through Deerfield and Highland Park with multiple types of carriages (there’s even a Cinderella) for varying prices starting around $175+. 

🐴While rides reserve quickly, you might be able to find some after the holidays! If not, put this in the calendar for next year because it’s a must do!

(I’ve shared some of it on Instastories!)

Deadlines start today fast and being in those long lines might be the worst part of Christmas. However, I shared some tips  on @wfaagmt on how you can avoid feeling like a Grinch when it comes to shipping. 🙌🏻

Here are some tips you might not know before you get in line: 

🎁 The big three all have pick up at your house, by going online and scheduling for pick up @ups, @usps.official and @fedex.

Did you know that several stores actually have shipping inside? 
🎁Some Ace Hardware stores @acehardware and local Eliott’s Hardware
🎁 @Staples - they have all the supplies for you to box it up (and I have a coupon in my Instastories!)
🎁 CVS ships UPS
🎁 Heading to those third party parcel stores can definitely save you some time.

Ship to Store is a huge way to get the item delivered quicker to you or to have sent. 
🎁 Get your @amazon sent to an Amazon Locker  or @wholefoods for shipping and pick up! 
🎁 @target - drive through pick up with the App 
🎁 @Walmart - just launched a new service called Walmart+ which is like Amazon Prime where you can get it. (Try it free now!) 

Last-minute shipping?
🎁 While you might not want to pay for those last-minute shipping services, if you use @rakuten you can save money on your purchase so then it still can be affordable for your budget. (I have already racked up a $600 cash back check just for using Rakuten - head to my profile to get a link to get $20 back when you use it! (It’s FREE!)
