Give Extra, Get Extra Gift Idea For Thanksgiving


Give Extra, Get Extra Gift Idea For Thanksgiving - Free Printable

Gum Gift Idea For Thanksgiving – Free Printable Included!

Today’s post is all about giving back and making someone’s day with this easy Give Extra, Get Extra Gift Idea.

And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, now is the perfect excuse to say “thank you” and pay it forward.

I’ve always believed the motto “Give Extra, Get Extra” and it’s true when it comes to karma! This also goes beyond close friends & family. I’m also talking about those people who affect your daily life, but you don’t even know their name {think police officers, firemen etc.} There is always a good excuse to pass on the love and make someone’s day.

You all know by now, that my husband is military – so my heart always goes out to the men & women proudly serving our country.

Recently I made these “Extra” Gum gift packages to hand out to the gate guards working the base gates.

It’s just a little something to say “Hey, I’m Extra Thankful For What You Do.”

Although I gave my finished pieces to military members, you can do the same gesture for friends, family, teachers, etc – by following this SIMPLE tutorial and grabbing some Extra gum at your local retailer. I promise you this little “give extra” gift is not too complicated or expensive and honestly can be made & gifted all year long!
