Are you looking for some last minute gift ideas and creative ways to give them? I have you covered today with a round-up of some of my favorite creative gift ideas from Kirkland’s and unique ways that you can wrap and personalize them.
Kirkland’s always has some of the most unique (and pretty) products and I am excited to team up with them today to share my favorite gift ideas with you! Even better, I am giving away a $50.00 Kirkland’s gift card at the end of this post, which is perfect for for buying yourself a great gift!
So let’s jump right in to the fun gift ideas!
Teacher’s gifts are always a challenge and this year, for my daughter’s teachers, we are giving these Kirkland’s oversized chalkboard mugs filled with goodies that are so fun:
These mugs are perfect really for anyone but especially teachers because they are oversized and can hold twice as much coffee or tea (great for soups too). My daughter and I filled them with everything needed for a several cups of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha coffee:
I bought these packages that have 6 individual packets of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha (so yummy) and I am putting 2-3 packets in each mug:
I’m also adding candy canes for stirring, a couple paper straws and a tin of my favorite rolled wafer cookies that I found for $1.00 at the dollar store. I also wrote the teacher’s name with the chalk that came with the mug (I slid the chalk in the mug too) and wrapped in cellophane:
I also added a monogrammed ornament that we made using small and large rhinestone sticker letters (available in the scrapbook aisle at the craft store). I have been monogramming ornaments for several years now and it’s fun and an inexpensive way to personalize a gift (you can also just do one large letter instead of a full monogram):
I love all of Kirkland’s trays. They have SO many good ones right now and I especially love this Gretchen Trellis bathroom vanity tray, which I thought would be such a great gift along with their monogrammed towels, washcloths, room sprays and candles (links below image):

For smaller gifts, I’m just doing the tray, a set of monogrammed washcloths (6 in a set) and a room spray. By putting them all on the tray and wrapping in cellophane, I don’t have to find a box and wrap and it’s a pretty way to give a gift:
For larger gifts, I bought the set of three chalkboard fabulous Kirkland’s metal storage baskets (I am obsessed with these!) and separated them into three larger gifts and filled each basket with two sets of the monogrammed washcloths and towels, room spray and sachets:
These baskets are so awesome and I also ordered a set for myself for organizing. They are perfect and great for so many things!
We also have several small children that we buy gifts for and we fell in love with this adorable stuffed puppy and blanket set that is so soft and cuddly. We wrapped the set with cellophane (have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with cellophane?), tied with tulle and added a sweet personalized ornament that we made using the rhinestone letters:
For children’s ornaments, we like to add tulle like this:
For people that are hard to buy for, this large hanging Christmas chalkboard sign is a great gift idea because you can do so much with it during the holidays (front door, back door or even in the kitchen with a quote):
You can get creative by writing a note or a family name on it and then…., wait for .., wrap in…, cellophane (ha!):
Cellophane is just so easy and you can get big rolls at the craft store and as you can see, you can get really creative with your bows and gift tags.
Well there you have it, friends, all of my favorite Christmas gift ideas from Kirkland’s. Some of these items may say that they re sold out online but I many of the stores still have these items in stock, so check your local store.
