Are you trying to come up with a gift idea

for Mother’s Day, a Birthday, etc.?

Here’s a quick & easy one that is also healthy!

I put this gift together for a special person in my life…

my son’s girlfriend.

She has always enjoyed a quick snack at my house… uh, maybe I should explain. LOL

I have a jar of “custom” nuts on my kitchen counter.

It’s filled with nuts I like that are also good for me because they combat any potential health issues I might or don’t want to have.

I’ve always loved nuts & enjoy them even more now that I’ve created my own combination of favorites that are also salt-free.

And when I found the article below on the internet, I decided to make them a small part of my regular diet –

When I noticed that my son’s girlfriend enjoyed my nut choices, it gave me the idea to create one for her counter-top too!

So I purchased a few of the top 10 healthiest nuts (organic & mostly un-salted – it’s always fun to add in 1 flavored or lightly salted one),

an airtight jar (for freshness) & a small scoop.

After tying together the pre-packed nuts with ribbon & printing out the “Top 10…” list, I placed it all into a gift bag.

Then, I tucked the gift bag into this nice, useful monogrammed canvas shopping/overnight bag I found at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Of course, you can stop right there and will have spent very little, but if you want to add a little more to this gift idea,

simply tuck a gift card & lottery scratch-offs inside the front pocket and utilize tissue paper & ribbon to “Gift-It-Up!”

Of course, a special person also deserves a special treat too,

so one more goody you can add in that’s also somewhat healthy is chocolate covered strawberries and/or

for a touch of decadence… you might also consider a small, individual-size mousse.

And don’t be shy…  ask the bakery clerk to monogram it with frosting…

the monogram is absolutely free and SO cute!

So, I hope this is an idea you can also use.

It’s (for the most part) healthy, useful and definitely thoughtful.

Happy “whatever” day you’re celebrating and…

Enjoy the Creativity!
