Gifting doesn't have to be seasonal, you can decide to be good for goodness sake. It doesn't hurt to be nice to someone at your workplace, church, small groups, schools, or any organization you find yourself. Showing an act of love sometimes goes a long way than we see or can even imagine. We all have nice acquaintances that deserve a mug or even more. They might have been there unknowing to them. A little thank you won't hurt.
Mugs are gifts that are not so practical to me, but I can also say they are the best gifts to give to a not so close person. Gifting is a choice and should come from the heart. Here are cute mugs options to gift an acquaintance.

Are you still thinking of what to do this Christmas? I have one tip for you
JUST RELAX AND ENJOY THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
Do you want to save money and purchase Christmas decorations for very cheap prices?. Most times it is advisable to purchase Christmas items during summer and at the end of the holiday season, it is much cheaper due to less demand.
Here is a list of cheap Christmas decorations you can buy for less than $10. All items such as Snowman, Harrods glitter, mini Christmas trees, hanging ornaments, traditional Santa shoes, Christmas throw pillow cover, bulbs, artificial pine garlands, bubble hearts, and lots more are available at affordable prices.
The festive season is full of life. We want to party, travel, meet up with friends, family members, and gift one another. While doing this we must be sure to keep in mind that this holiday season comes with so much excitement which can lead to poor spending and buying decisions. In other to spend wisely here are some tips on how to save money during the festive period.
1. Don't get too excited. The festive season comes with a rush, it has a feeling of love and joy flowing everywhere. After decorating and lighting the Christmas tree the seasons rush gets even more. You need to watch out for this feeling because it leads to careless spending sometimes.
2. Create a budget plan. Follow this plan, write out the list of what you need during the festive period. To be more practical we are not supposed to spend much but most people always tend to go for Christmas items with a high cost which sometimes doesn't even make much difference from the low-cost decors.
3. Budget-friendly purchase: Don't buy items for Christmas by taking a loan. This is a very stupid decision and also a foolish one at that. There are very cheap Christmas decorative items for less than $5 and if you don't have cash for that be creative let your DIY spirit come into play.
Christmas is fast approaching, the bell will soon start ringing, festive feelings are setting in and shops are beginning to advertise Christmas lights, trees, and candles for affordable prices. While we wait to celebrate Christmas in 2019, have you started thinking of which gift to present to your mother? She deserves it, doesn't she?
Special gifts to give to a Nigerian mum this Christmas. They don't cost a human head, you have nothing to worry about.
1. Skincare products: Most people tend to give food items and cash as gifts in Nigeria but there is more you can do for your mum. Getting her beauty products that can help enhance her skin is totally a good win for you and her. There are lots of good brands made with natural substances that can help moisturize her skin to look healthier and younger.
2. Vacation: This might sound a bit weird but some African mothers need a really good push and a reminder before they (Accept) to take a vacation. Mothers are more focused on us and most times they forget to explore more than their environment or where they grew up from. Buying and surprising them with a trip to take time out from motherly duties (tho, in reality, there is never a day off for mothers) to enjoy the beauty of other countries, states and towns is a very good idea.
It is officially 15 days until Christmas, which is celebrated worldwide. Are all your decorations ready? Are you set for a Christmas party, and what are we having this Christmas?
Talking about the colors of Christmas, there are several colors that are traditionally associated with Christmas. Red, green, and gold are the most popularly accepted colors, but why do we have them and what do the colors represent?
Most of the colors and their meanings come from western and northern European traditions and customs. Christmas is in the middle of winter, and it's dark and cold.
Green: Evergreen plants, like Holly, Ivy, and Mistletoe, have been used for thousands of years to decorate and brighten up buildings during the long, dark winter. They also reminded people that spring would come and that winter wouldn't last forever! The Romans would exchange evergreen branches in January as a sign of good luck. The ancient Egyptians used to bring palm branches into their houses during the mid-winter festivals.
In many parts of Europe during the Middle Ages, Paradise plays were performed, often on Christmas Eve. They told Bible stories to people who couldn't read. The 'Paradise Tree' in the garden of Eden in the play was normally a pine tree with red apples tied to it.
Red: As mentioned above, the early use of red at Christmas was the apples on the paradise tree. They represented the fall of Adam in the plays.
Red is also the color of holly berries, which are said to represent the blood of Jesus when he died on the cross.
Red is also the color of bishop's robes. These would have been worn by St. Nicholas and then also became Santa's uniform!
Gold is the color of the sun and light—both very important in the dark winter. And both red and gold are the colors of fire that you need to keep you warm.
Gold was also one of the presents brought to the baby Jesus by one of the wise men, and traditionally, it's the color used to show the star that the wise men followed.
Silver is sometimes used instead of (or with) gold. But gold is a 'warmer' color.
White is often associated with purity and peace in western cultures. The snow in winter is also very white!
White paper wafers were also sometimes used to decorate paradise trees. The wafers represented the bread eaten during Christian Communion or Mass when Christians remember that Jesus died for them.
White is used by most churches as the color of Christmas when the altar is covered with a white cloth (in the Russian Orthodox Church, gold is used for Christmas).
The color blue is often associated with Mary, the mother of Jesus. In medieval times blue dye and paint were more expensive than gold! So it would only be worn by Royal families and very rich people. Mary was often painted wearing blue to show she was very important.
Blue can also represent the color of the sky and heaven.
Purple: During Advent, purple and sometimes blue are used in most churches for the color of the altar cloth (in the Russian Orthodox Church red is used for advent).

Christmas is not just about Santa and gifts. Neither is it just about having a fun holiday and finding an escape from the usual routine. There are those among us who love to alter Christmas themes and decorating color schemes each year. Then there are those who love to stick to the traditional and the classic. If you are a person who values the traditional elements of Christmas decorations or wishes to try out the style for a change then here is a bit of inspiration that will come in handy.
A Christmas decoration is any of several types of ornamentation used at Christmastime. The traditional colors of Christmas are pine green (evergreen), snow-white, and heart red. Blue and white are often used to represent winter, or sometimes Hanukkah, which occurs around the same time. Gold and silver are also very common, as are other metallic colors. Typical images on Christmas decorations include Baby Jesus, Father Christmas, Santa Claus, and the star of Bethlehem. Typical winter icons include snowflakes, snowmen, icicles, and even penguins and polar bears.

A Christmas pickle produced by Lauschaer Glaskugelhaus of Germany
Figural glass Christmas ornaments originated in the small town of Lauscha, Germany in the latter half of the 19th century. The town had long produced fine glassware. The production of Christmas ornaments became a family affair for many people. Some families invested 16 hours a day in production. For some, it was their sole source of income.
