The holiday season is here and if you’re like me you love finding creative gift ideas to hand out to your friends, your neighbors, your family, and your kids’ school teachers. Many of my friends, like myself, have young children and this year I wanted to come up with a fun gift idea they could do together as a family activity. I came across this Simply Orange Sugar Cookie Mix Gift Kit idea and instantly knew I had this year’s perfect gift!

This Simply Orange Sugar Cookie Mix Gift Kit is a gift that can get the entire family involved and it’s something they can do for Family Night! I put together a cute gift basket, which includes Simply Orange, a mason jar filled with the dry ingredients needed for the recipe (I layered the dry ingredients and tied off the mason jar with a cute bow), a Holiday card with handwritten ingredients list and baking instructions, and a couple Holiday cookie cutters.

My kids and I tried out the recipe and the cookies were so GOOD! Plus, my house smelled amazing while the cookies were baking…there was a warm, orange aroma that filled my entire kitchen! Y’all, if you’re looking for a creative gift idea this is the way to go! Simply Orange Sugar Cookie Mix Gift Set…give it a try! I guarantee anyone you gift this to will love it!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season! Aloha!

]]> Simply Orange® Vanilla Cream Lip Balm https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/simply-orange-vanilla-cream-lip-balm/ Thu, 22 Feb 2018 06:26:41 +0000 http://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/?p=23607 The winter months can be brutal, especially on your lips. I would spend so much money on lip balm and then lose it fairly quickly. I knew there had to be a better way. Then I found this super cute and simple recipe from www.cocacolamilitary.com. When I say simple, I mean just that. All you need is vaseline, vanilla extract, and Simply Orange®, which is a staple in my household. My kiddos love the taste of Simply Orange®. Now, I can make my own lip balm and extras for my kiddos! Here is the directions:

What You Need

  • 1 tsp of Petroleum jelly or Vaseline
  • 1 tsp of Simply Orange
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Melt all 3 ingredients in microwaveable bowl for 30 seconds
  2. Pour mixture into a lip-gloss container
  3. Let it set for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator

That’s it! When I said it was simple, I meant it. It only took 10 minutes to make 2 lip balms for my son and my daughter. I plan to make more for home and some to take with me to work. Simply Orange® is my little ones favorite juice, so when Zion found out I was making lip balm with it, he was the first in line to try it!  He was pretty excited that he got his own container of lip balm and loved the hint of orange. My daughter also loves any “lipstick” in her words, so she was all about trying out her lip balm.
