The Ultimate Gift That isn’t ‘Stuff’!

Thank you to my friends at Bluprint for sponsoring this post. All opinions are mine alone.

Okay mamas, I know many of us aren’t ready for the reality of it BUT – Christmas is coming. I know, it may sound far away still, but with everything between now and then, it’ll be here before we know it. It sneaks up on me every year, so I’m trying to be on-the-ball and plan ahead so that I can better enjoy the actual holiday season instead of running around in a crazy mad dash checking things off the to-do list. The gift shopping seems to be the biggest & easiest thing to get done in advance, and today I’m telling you about an amazing option that would work for pretty much anyone on your list! And the best part is, it’s not a toy or more ‘stuff’ to clutter the house – it’s The Ultimate Gift That isn’t ‘Stuff’!

Ultimate Gift That Isn't 'Stuff' #AD Give the gift of learning, hobbies & fun with a huge variety of online courses! Everything from cooking & crafts, sewing & home decor, wood working & fitness, family & healthy eating - plus much more! Great gift idea for everyone on your list! @therealbluprint

I’m thrilled when I can find something that’s more of an activity or event – something they can DO, especially if it’ll be lasting. You know what I’m talking about – not something the kids will play with for a week then forget about. I’m talking about Bluprint – NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment’s new and expanded subscription service! It’s the premier digital destination for lifestyle learning, and offers online classes that focus on legacy crafts PLUS new complementary categories that help promote and facilitate self-expression in areas such as writing, music and dance, yoga and fitness, home decor, entertaining, plus plenty for kids and family. I was amazed with how many online classes were available, and the variety of topics is fantastic!

The extensive categories make this a perfect fit for practically anyone on your holiday list – from sewing classes for beginner kids just starting out, on up to complex pattern making or highly skilled sewers. Don’t worry, there’s also plenty for the guys in your life, too – such as woodworking, photography, cooking, healthy eating and much more. I love the idea of taking some of these classes TOGETHER – sharing a new hobby or skill with your special someone sounds like a super fun and unique date night!

Bluprint has an incredible content library with over 3,000 HOURS of original classes, and they produce original entertainment series featuring creative experts. They’ll not only provide a fun time, but will help inspire, empower and entertain everyone, form the experienced creator to the everyday doer. My kids are going to LOVE the kid-focused cooking classes, as they’ve been learning a few basic things to do more on their own in the kitchen. Since my girls are almost teenagers (YIKES!), and fashion is a main priority for them, this Fashion Attic series will be perfect for them – and other classes can help them learn to make their own bags!

As for myself, the fitness classes (especially the ‘Boost Your Physical and Mental Energy‘ one – I’m sure all of us parents would appreciate this one!) and tons under the Cooking category will be great fun. And my fellow busy moms – there’s plenty of cooking hacks and tips, plus easy recipes to help us on those busy weeknights! Hubby will go crazy for the DIY Sushi or How to Make a Comic Book, of course.
