Take a Photo of Your Gifts

Christmas

Taking a photo of your Christmas gifts can remind you to be thankful of what you have been given.

Take a Photo of your Gifts - So Much Better With Age

For years I’ve taken photos of gifts I’ve received. I used to set out all my Christmas gifts on the couch and take a photo of them. I was so happy for each one of them.

Then I started to do it when I went away on vacation and I’d take a photo of what I bought. Probably weird I know. If I went away on a shopping vacation, I’d take a photo of all my new clothes on the bed of my hotel room before I packed it. It was fun to see all my loot in one place.

It also reminded me of what I had. Sometimes I would think…oh I didn’t get that much but when we see the photo you remember and are thankful.

I thought it would be especially important for my kids to see all the gifts they received at Christmas and at birthdays. Sometimes we soon forget all what we were given. Just show your kids that photo you took of all their goodies so they know they are blessed.

It’s also a nice way to see all their gifts in packages before they are all torn apart.

Here are a few examples of how I take a photo of all the gifts each year for Christmas and birthdays.

    Love this idea! I’m interested in one of your presents, the package with the reindeer. What is that!

      Thanks so much, Debby! My friend bought that for me a couple of years ago, it’s a reindeer garland. I think she bought it on Etsy.

    Oh I actually do that too so I don’t think it’s so Weird. In fact, one of our Christmas Traditions is to take a pix of each Child with their wrapped gifts all around them… and then another with all of them unwrapped around them… we feel almost like Pirates hitting the Motherlode of Treasures! *winks* I also do it with my Junquing forays and Share it with my Blog Friends on my Blog… and I enjoy seeing their Cache’s of Found Treasures too… it makes it all so interactive, like we went Treasure Hunting Together and can Celebrate each other’s Good Fortune! And I agree, in preserving these Blessings it makes us realize how abundant they have been and keep a Grateful Heart! Happy New Year… Dawn… The Bohemian

    This is especially a good idea when traveling because you then have a record of what you should arrive home with.

Looking for something?

Now that the Christmas decor is all put away, I al Now that the Christmas decor is all put away, I always go crazy with cleaning! I want everything cleaned and I start cleaning the oven and mopping the floors. Things that usually get neglected. It feels good to start the New Year with a fresh home. The decluttering has also taken precedence around here (see stories). Swipe to see what our tiny master ensuite looked like before! .

Crazy, right!?! Any guesses what it could be? I had no idea that this was something that people searched for. You just never know! Your small problem could be just what people are searching for! 💚 Do you remember what this post was about it? I’ll leave a link in stories. .

Thought it would be fun to share my dining room fo Thought it would be fun to share my dining room for the last five years. I make it my personal challenge to use existing Christmas decor each year but only add a few new items. This year I didn’t buy anything new! In fact I was able to purge some items too which I was so happy about. I’m really embracing ‘less is more’ lately. What about you? 🎄💚➡️ Direct links to these tours are in stories.
