Holiday Gift Ideas!!!

The holidays are fast approaching and I'm sure you're probably trying to think up some good gift ideas for your loved ones. Let me help you out by sharing some. Of course Madam Ancestry would begin with personalized family gifts first! Did you expect anything less? :-)

Let me start off by saying that it really is the thought that counts when giving gifts. It's nice that someone gives you a gift, but it means more when it's something that you can truly appreciate. Great gifts are all around - it's just a matter of putting some real thought into it. I'm working on a special project for some of my family members for Christmas. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag but I can say it will represent someone that we love dearly, and I can't wait to see their faces when they open it! I will be sure to post the photo after they open it! 

If you're still thinking...How about a key chain that has a photo of a beloved family member or favorite memory? How about a cool t-shirt (or sweatshirt) with the family name or favorite saying of a family member? There are some easy DIY gifts like a family recipe book (Pinterest is a great resource for DIY ideas). If you're not the DIY type, then you're sure to find the perfect gift from these suggestions below. Click on the company's name to go directly to its website.
