Reindeer Fun For Everyone
Happy Holidays Everyone, Let's Have Some Reindeer Fun
Let's make Reindeer Poop gifts, and bake some Reindeer cookies. We must get the crayons out for coloring pages, and how about printing our own Reindeer Gift tags? You can even find some really nice Reindeer gifts here and before you know it we will be all in the Christmas spirit
I don't know what it is about Reindeers at Christmas that I love. Maybe it has to do with waking up Christmas morning as a child very early and finding Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer on the tv while waiting for my parents to roll out of bed. I have always had to have Reindeers around me during the Christmas holidays.
I was a child of the 60's growing up in England, and we didn't have such a thing as Reindeer Poop , so I was thrilled to find it in my grown up years , now living in Canada because I think it is such a fun gag gift for adults, or a sweet gift for the kids. I will tell you how to make it and I have a printable bag topper for you to print, it is a fun and inexpensive gift.
Remember, it's not the gift, it is the thought that counts.
What is Reindeer Poop.
If you are one that never heard of it, I will tell you.
Reindeer Poop is a fun way to give some candy, usually we use chocolate covered candies, depends on the recipient as to what is inside the chocolate.
For adults you can fill a bag with gourmet coffee or chocolate covered coffee beans. Gift it with a coffee press, mug, set of spoons, or fill a gift basket and include the Reindeer Poop.
You will find here a free bag topper for your Reindeer Poop, and Reindeer printables such as gift tags, Reindeer colouring pages for the kids, and lots more Reindeer Fun.

Do you give the gift of Reindeer Poop?
Adult Reindeer Poop - Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
WARNING: Not for children.
In place of chocolate covered candy, a great gift for adults are the gourmet chocolate covered coffee beans. This particular brand is very potent, you must like coffee or caffeine to appreciate these delights. They are packed with 600mg of caffeine per box, which is equivalent to about 6 cups of coffee.
Maybe a note on the bag topper to eat sparingly?
This recipe was found on BigOven.com and was originally from a December 2007 Ladies Home Journal magazine.
If peanut butter cookies are not suitable for your household or for taking cookies to school, use any other of your favourite cookie dough recipes, they are sure to look as cute as these and taste just as delicious.

Printable Reindeer Gift Tags
very chic
I love to search for printables that are not always found on the major printable sites. I found these cute gift tags on a blog, and the quality is beautiful.
The larger tag is really unique too. It prints only one per page and you have to cut it out and then use brads to join it together. This means the Reindeer can move too.
The other very chic tag in red and white is from the same blog, and prints a sheet of gift tags in two sizes. I love them both.

Did you have fun at Reindeer fun for everyone? - I would love to hear your thoughts
The Peanut butter Reindeer Cookies look cute and sound delicious!
I made those very reindeer cookies for last Christmas and they were a big hit. Cute and tasty!
Cute. The reindeer cookies look delicious! Have a Happy Holiday Season!
Great lens I love Reindeer. There was a guy I used to know who brought out his Reindeer every Christmas for all the local kids to see. That was pretty magical.
We've never made reindeer poop as gifts, but my children have made them just about every year in school. It's a bit of a tradition to enjoy reindeer poop on Christmas Eve.
@anonymous: *Giggle* he is so sweet, always makes me smile too :)
I sure enjoyed this and you got me thinking of when I was growing up, a man in my community actually raised reindeer and we would drive by the field very slowly to get a view...they were wonderful to see. I was just reading comments and raphaelo's split my gut...worthy of a feature so it doesn't get lost along the way..."but I feel I love it now.."!
Love the jointed reindeer printable tag ... gave me some new ideas!
Those little reindeer cookies are adorable. I like the nail art, too. Fun lens!
Very fun lens! I really enjoyed it, and hope to try the reindeer cookies this Christmas.(and OK, maybe the reindeer poop, too) :-)
This very a really fun lens to review. You have brightened my day my dear. See you around the galaxy...
@anonymous: Well now you know what it is Raphaelo, I didn't know of it until I came to Canada, just for fun gift. Hope you get to make some Reindeer Cookies :)
Loved the cookies! Sounds like a lot of fun for all ages!
I never know about Reindeer poop before, but I feel love it now because of you.. my dear friend :) Love all everything here, especially "Peanut butter Reindeer Cookies".. Maybe I should have a try one day ;) Tweeted to all my fans. Much love to you. Have a wonderful times.. always.. dearest lady Lynn :D
The reindeer cookies look very yummy and adorable. They'd make a great gift plate.
@kislanyk: I think my nieces would like to try this on their nails, she makes it look so easy :)
Great lens! Wow that painting your nails video is different, that's for sure. But I'm sure it draws a lot of girls in to try it out.
@Diana Wenzel: I know, the crackheads are quite powerful. Thank you for your participation in my new lens, it is always a pleasure to see you :)
I absolutely love reindeer. Those cookies are adorable, as are the painted nails and gift tags. Thanks for all of the great printables and whoa... be careful with those crackheads! Thanks for the fun!
