Erin Sluka

It is that time and you need help finding gift ideas! We love finding new brands and well-known brands that offer great gifts and that are responsibly made. Every brand has a mission and a passion behind their products. I will highlight those for you this season so that the gifts you buy come from brands that mean well or give back!

Organize Your Holiday Recipes with this Happy Planner Recipe Organizer

Erin Sluka

If there is one time of the year I pull out family recipes, it is the Holidays. I have them all over the place – some spread out in multiple books, some written on papers and notecards that are ripped and wearing. My goal this fall is to get my recipes organized into on organizer such as this Cooking 101 Classic Recipe Organizer from Happy Planner.

This is a recipe organizer that allows you to note your entire recipe on one page with separate lists for prep temps, dietary notes and cook times. There are 8 tabs to organize recipes by type – main dishes, side dishes, soup & salads, healthy meals and more. Inside, you will also find helpful cooking guides.

Like all Happy Planners organizers and planners, this Cooking 101 recipe organizer has optional corresponding notes sheets and sticker sets to further mark and customize your recipes. Mark favorites or alternative options using stickers and notes to keep the pages clean and easy to follow.

If you have older children, this is a great gift to give. You can gather all of the family or favorite recipes and organize them as a gift all filled out and ready to use. Find meal planners, Mom organizers, travel planners and more at Happy Planner. Also available on Amazon.

Across the Board hand-crafted wooden board games

Across the Board hand-crafted wooden board games

If you are looking to elevate your game nights, Across the Board will surely be a great addition to your table. These board games are replicas of some classics and sports versions as well. Across the Board games are built to last and the quality makes you want to leave them out as a fun ambiance to the family room.

We are having fun with penny soccer. It even came with a shiny penny! This game is so simple yet more challenging than it looks and very addicting. If I pull it out, my son will gravitate over and soon enough we are playing rounds of his game.

Besides penny soccer or hockey and more sports games, you will find the classics that are beautifully hand-crafted. Find cribbage, mancala, farkle and more. These make excellent gifts! Set these out on a table at a BBQ or dinner with friends and they are bound to be gravitated to it and start playing each other. Visit Across the Board to find your next game night board!
