Christmas Love Quote
Remember this love quote on Christmas Day, when you are giving presents to your loved ones!
“Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.”
- Elbert Hubbard
Christmas Gift Calendar: Wants and Needs
The idea behind Wants for Sale and Needs for Sale is simple Two artists paint their wants and needs. Wants are paintings of things they would like to have. The paintings sell for the exact price of the thing they depict and with the money the artists go out and buy what they want. Needs are paintings of things they would like to donate to people in need. The originals are auctioned, the prints can be ordered online. The money then goes to a good cause that provides for the need depicted in the painting.
Last Christmas I gave the be2 team the picture you see on the right, which now takes place of pride in the be2 office. The sale price went to a charity that gives toys to children who would otherwise not receive any presents at Christmas.
The originals are usually hard to come by, but prints are cheaper and easy to order online. And if you’re worried they won’t be delivered in time for Christmas, just do as I did last year: the delivery was late, but I printed a „placeholder“ from the website until the original arrived.
Christmas Gift Calendar: Print your own Christmas Crib
24 days, 24 Christmas gifts:
Perfect Christmas gift ideas and suggestions by the be2 team, daily December 1st – 24th 2009.
Christmas cribs can be a bit old-fashioned, but some of still can’t quite shake off those childhood memories of setting up the manger, placing all the animals around the baby Jasus and his parents, and, depending on your level of creativity, maybe even adding a few Lego figures and Barbie ornaments in between, for good measure.
If you are not quite dedicated enough to spend a lot of money on a crib that will only take up space in your cellar for the rest of the year, but you still like the idea of putting up a crib at Christmas, a printable paper crib might be just the thing for you.
The figures have been added daily, so by now the crib is practically complete. The design blog that offers this cool, modern crib, is in German, but all you need to do is click here to find the crib page, then click on each link on that page to download individual PDFs of the crib figures. Print, cut, paste on to a bit of cardboard and set up your do-it-yourself crib, just in time for Christmas.
