CHRISTMAS PARTY IN A BOX - Gift Idea
This year has been a doozy for all but we at Uncommon are choosing JOY! This season we want to encourage all of you to make the very best of everything Christmas has to offer in a safe and healthy way. We know that some of our gatherings are going to look different than they have in the past, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the magic of the season! In an effort to help, we have put together an idea that we are sure will help lift some spirits.
Whether it’s friends and family near or far that we can’t be with in person, we want to bring Christmas cheer right to their doorsteps! How about an inexpensive DIY Video Call Backdrop decor kit that you can send to loved ones to encourage them to decorate for your holiday video calls?!
> It’s like a Christmas Party in a Box! <
We know budgets are a little tighter this Christmas, and shipping can be expensive, so we’ve planned a kit that is under $30 to create! All but one of the decor supplies are from the DollarTree. We scoured the shelves selecting the very best Christmas cheer we could find! To finish off the kit, we teamed up with our friends at Anagram Balloons and incorporated an XL mylar Christmas balloon. This balloon is air-filled! Plus this balloon gives this kit a WOW factor! We’ve also included a prewritten note & video call meeting reminder that you can print out at home, along with directions for your family members to create the kit when it gets to their doorstep!
We hope that you find JOY in bringing others JOY! Follow the steps below to create the perfect DIY Video Call Backdrop decor kit for your friends & family!
