A Gift Giving Guide for a Large Group

One of the challenges of being so close to so many people in your sorority is that once holiday season hits, you feel obligated to shower everyone with love and presents. Here are my top 3 large group and inexpensive gifts for your favorite sisters!
Travel Coffee Mugs – this is actually what I am doing for all of my friends this season. I found a cup I liked online and ordered 50 (my little sister is passing them out to her friends as well) and each cup rang up under $3. I stuffed mine with hot chocolate and instant coffee travel packs but you could fill it with candy or baked goods as well! It’s an easy gift for under $5 each.

DIY Ornaments – hit up your favorite craft store’s holiday isle and you can pick up a dozen clear glass ornaments for around $4. Then just decorate with glitter, fill with pearls or bedazzle these ornaments for an easy gift. If you want to personalize it even more, pull out your trusty paint pen and add a first initial, monogram or even sorority letters to each ornament.

Finals Week Survival Kits – This is what I got from my little last year and I absolutely adored mine! Pick up a few bags and fill each one with anything from highlighters and a spare pencil to a candle or travel size lotion. Add some candy and some peppermints to help fill in space. You can also add in hot chocolate mix or instant coffee here too! 

I hope you have a great holiday season and be sure to let us know what mass gifts you do for your friends and sisters! Happy Gifting!

10 DIY Halloween Costumes

As you know Halloween is coming up soon! If you have not already decided what you are going to dress up as you have come to the right place! Today we are sharing our top ten favorite DIY Halloween costumes.

10. Black Cat 

Black tights, a black t-shirt, and cat ears are all you need to be a mysterious cat for the night. Use eye liner to add wiskers to complete your outfit!

9. Hot Sauce

Whether you're feeling mild, hot, or on fire, you can't go wrong with Taco Bell sauce! Just alter a big t-shirt and write a catchy phrase on it and you are good to go. 

8. Marry Poppins

You can be everyone's favorite character with items that are already in your closet! Just wear a white button up with a shirt and add a cute little bow tie to finish your look. Carry around an umbrella so everyone know who you are! 

7. Mini Mouse

You can't go wrong with being the ever so classic Mini Mouse. Wear a red skirt with a black blouse and black Disney ears for your outfit and use eye liner to add a black nose to you face and you are all set. 

6. Deer  

If you wear a completely brown outfit and add some "deery" makeup, you will be fighting off the hunters all night long. 

5. A Pineapple

This summer was all about pineapples and citrus fruits! Relive those times with a simple yellow dress and a stem made from green paper!

4. 50 Shades of Gray

Pay tribute to your favorite book without breaking the bank. Collect paint samples in all shades of gray and attach them to a gray outfit for this fun costume!

3. Social Media

If you want to be tech savvy this Halloween then just be technology itself. Gather a group of friends and make t-shirts representing all of your favorite social medias.

2. Scarecrow

Take a cute spin on a traditional fall item. Pair your favorite plaid shirt with some skinny jeans and boots and add a few sunflowers to complete your outfit. Finish the costume off with cute scare crow makeup.

1. Starbucks

It has been said that the best crafts are made when you have coffee (Starbucks to be exact) but what if you are actually crafting Starbucks? A simple brown dress and white feather boa make this outfit simple and awesome!
