Free EOS Printables Gift Ideas

I always get warm fuzzies when  think if EOS lip balms. In 2017, we spent much of Christmas day in the hospital. I had one of the twins in the NICU from an early deliver and another 3 day old at home. In addition to two young newborns, I had three older kids. Our hospital did something cool. Santa came and gave donated presents to the kids. The kids could choose from his workshop what they wanted. My daughter chose an EOS lip balm set of 6. It was a pretty nice gift, about $25. I remember feeling exhausted but filled with warmth in my heart for whoever mad this kind donation. So unnecessary, but such a sweet way for the kids to feel the joy of the season in the cold walls of a hospital.

There are a lot of EOS printables you can pay for, but since this is Frugal Coupon Living, we found you Free EOS printables – Enjoy all these seasonal gift ideas for everyone on your list!

I recommend you buy EOS in bulk. Near the register at the grocery store or pharmacy, they can cost a little more. If buying 25 for an entire classroom of kids, the price can add up. Look for seasonal sets that might be on sale or buy EOS in larger quantities. I think the lowest cost I have seen for an individual package is $2.99, but they average closer to $4.99.

Happy printing. Happy gifting!

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

eos Printable – Keep Cool This Summer

Keep cool this summer with this eos printable gift for friends. This eos Lip Balm cute idea for an end of year or last day of school gift for students and teachers alike! 

EOS Printable – Keep Cool This Summer

Looking for a cute end of the year gift for students or teachers alike? This fun printable incorporates eos lip balm a fun summer wish – keep cool this summer. Use traditional lip balm flavors including sweet mint, passion fruit, strawberry sorbet or tangerine.

Most eos lip balms cost about about $3, so if you are doing this for an entire classroom, expect to pay about $60. You can buy eos bulk on Amazon, but I am not seeing it for much less than $3. In fact, some of the bulk packages cost over $3/piece.  You might be best running up to target and adding a bunch to your shopping cart. I saw them both in the health (near the band-aids) section, on end caps and also near checkout. At Walgreens, I have seen them for B1G1 50% off but they were at $3.99/piece. That would make each the same price as Target (not on sale at $2.99/each.)

If the price becomes too high for you to give to an entire classroom, consider use for a smaller gathering of friends or gift to a teacher! She will appreciate one in her pool bag this summer!

eos Keep Cool This Summer Directions:

Cut out the circle inside your ice cream and insert your eos Lip Balm. I cut a little bit beyond the circle to get the balm to fit.

20 Baby Shower Games Printables You Will Actually Enjoy

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

by Filed Under: Baby, Birthday, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media 5 Comments

Save this list of twenty baby shower games. These baby shower games printables are free. Activities the mom-to-be, guests, and you will actually enjoy!

Baby Shower Games Printables

I have five kids. With my five kids, I only had two baby showers. Additionally, I have not attended a baby shower in years. Well, that isn’t true. I went to one about two years ago, and I was out out of place because it has been so long. So research had to be done to find you all the best.

In my discovery for this post, this is what I learned. The internet does not lack baby shower games. You guys, there are 100s. Additionally, each game has about a dozen versions and is found on about another 1,000 blogs.  So I did my good duty for you all and put together the best baby shower games that won’t throw you into an instant snooze. If I found the game multiple places, I found what I thought was the best version. Additionally, all these games offer printables. Free printables. You’re welcome (wink!)… and congrats to the happy parents!

Take a look! We have more Tips for Throwing a Baby Shower including recipes and more baby game ideas. Also, these Baby Milestone Monthly Printables are adorable for photographing a baby’s age. Download this freebie for yourself or print as a shower gift with an 8×10 frame.


Baby Shower Taboo from Fun Squared. Divide the guests into two teams and have someone draw a card. She needs to get her team to say the word at the top of the card, but she can’t say the 5 words below it as she describes.

Words for the Wee Hours from Happy Home Fairy. I was so happy to stumble upon this printable. Julie is a friend of mine for 20 years (where does time go) and she has some amazing printables. Print these Words for the Wee Hours. Challenge shower guests to make their own, but you can display yours on a clothes line with clothes pins.  Vote on the funniest sayings or the phrases that make mom laugh the most. Now I am dying for a friend to have a baby so I can gift these messages.

Name that Baby from DIY Network and TomKat Studio. Have each guest bring a baby photo of themselves. Post the photos on a board along with a printed number. Throughout the shower, guests can study the board and take a guess at who is in each photo. Guest with the most correct guesses wins. Up to 12 guests.

The Price is Right from Tula Mama. Set up a table with the items listed on this sheet. Have guests fill out their card with their best guesses for the price of each item. The person with the closest price of each item scores one point. The guest with the most points wins a prize.

He Said, She Said from Unoriginal Mom. Just like the bridal shower game, is this fact about mommy or daddy. Pick up the free printable lips and mustache as well as the header for the game. But personalize for yourself in a Word Document.

How Sweet It Is from Lil Luna. Fill out the matching pregnancy term to the candy bar. For example, girls name would be Baby Ruth. Have a basket of candy bars mentioned in the game. Most likely, everyone will have these answers right, so give he bar to who shares the answer with the group when going over results.

Baby ABCs from PJs and Paint. Ready, set, go. You are timed trying find a baby related item that begins with each letter. If there are repeat letters (like two people choose diapers for D) a point is not awarded. Person with the most points at the end wins. Make sure your words are unique and baby related!

What’s in your Phone from Inspiration Made Simple. It’s basically the same concept of “What’s in your Purse?” but baby shower edition. Each participant earns points for the item that they have in their phone. Things like having the Pinterest app or having the baby shower in your calendar.

Pass the Prize from Tula Mama. Similar to pass the present, start the game off with one person. Normally the baby’s mama! Mama has to pass the gift off to someone who matches the description in the line of the poem. Keep passing the gift with each line of the poem until the final line of the poem is read.

Celebrity Baby Names from For the Love of George. See who knows US Weekly best with this parents to celebrity baby name match.

Children’s Book Emoji Pictionary from Sugar and Soul. Ooohh, this one is a challenge. Identify the children’s book from the emoji given. Person with the most number of books right at the end, wins.

What’s In Your Purse from Inspiration Made Simple.  Similar to what’s in your phone game, gain points for the odd things you might find in your bag… Granola bar? Hammer? Photo of the kids?

Baby Jeopardy from Tula Mama. I will take “Nursery Rhymes for 300, Alex!” Play everyone’s favorite television game, the game of Jeopardy with all things fitting for a baby!

Name that Tune from Play, Party, Plan. Download this list of 50 songs with the word baby in the title ranging from Justin Bieber to The Beatles. See who gets the most songs right, first.

Name that Artist from Play, Party Plan. Contrary, as if at a poetry reading, read the lyrics to songs and see how many people can guess the artist. “They say were young and we don’t know, we won’t find out until we grow…” – Name that artist!

Match the Baby and Mama from Hey, Let’s Make Stuff. Match the mama to her baby! This animal mother and baby matching game is both challenging and fun.

How Long is Each Animal Pregnant from Paper Trail Design. Guess the gestation period for each animal; a fun baby shower game that is easy to pull of and isn’t overly annoying.

Baby Scavenger Hunt from Plan the Perfect Baby Shower. Riddles and rhymes, the race is on to score the prize! Follow these baby related clues in this baby shower game.

Baby Trait from Sugar and Charm. What will baby look like? Will his/her eyes resemble mom or dad? How about their hair color. Everyone shares their guess and at the end the mother to be shares hers. Whoever matches with the mom most, wins!

Wishes for Baby from Lauren Makes. Maybe not a game but a very good way to send off the baby and mother to be. These wishes for baby can be laminated and binded for the parents and child to keep forever! If laminating, print on cardstock.

These Baby Milestone Monthly Printables are adorable for photographing a baby’s age. Download this freebie for yourself or print as a shower gift with an 8×10 frame.

With all five of my kids, I have done monthly photos in a chair since they were born. In fact, just four months ago I took my last set of monthly photos for the twins – where does time go? It was shocking to me that I would no longer be taking one of these photos again.  I calculated how much I spent on these age stickers and decided I wanted to give you all a more frugal option for monthly milestones.

Baby Milestone Monthly Printables

We put together two sets of monthly printables for your baby – one pink and one blue so you can use it for your boy or girl. These printables are on 8.5 x 11 paper so you can frame each month in an 8×10 frame. You can print at home or send to Staples to save some money on ink. Staples in incredibly affordable, more on that below.


Shower Gift Idea

Find the most adorable 8×10 frame (I love this one) and gift these printables to a mother for a baby shower! You can have them made an an office store. When the mother is done with the frame for taking photos, she can use the frame for a picture of her baby’s first year.

Share With Us Your Photogrpahed Baby Milestone Monthly Printables!

Leave a comment.  I love to see your little ones grow and our printables used. It brings me joy! You can see my boy (child #3 of five) growing in his chair, beside his bear. Makes me shed a tear!

Who dunnit? It’s a Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party. Themed Trailer Park Tragedy party decor, costumes, tablescapes and recipes to pull of your ultimate Redneck bash.

Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party

Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party

Red Solo cup, I fill you up! Let’s have a party… Redneck Style!

One of my dearest friends had a party I was incredibly jealous not to attend. With her living thousands of miles (and a continent) away, I forgave her for the lack of an invite, but i told her to take many pictures so I could live vicariously through her photos. Not only did I get to scroll through endless digital photos, I gathered them together to share with you all so you too could enjoy the celebration – a Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party!

What is a Murder Mystery Party?

A murder mystery party is a themed game played with a large group of people. Party-goers are assigned roles, with one individual secretly playing a fictitious murderer, and the other attendees each providing a character to fit the theme. The attendees work together to solve who among them is the criminal while not getting murdered themselves!


Trailer Park Tragedy

For her guidance, she referred to Night of Mystery Trailer Park Tragedy. There she got printables, invites, and a list of character, descriptions and directions for completing her perfect murder mystery party.

I didn’t want to leave you all hanging. I know we are both feeling left out of this party of a life time, so to warm both of our redneck hearts, I gathered together some of the most creative White Trash Bash party ideas from around the web. Use these DIY decorations, tablescapes and recipes, and free printables (made by yours truly!)

Recipe for Disaster

This trailer park tragedy is a recipe for disaster. Let us all lift our Red Solo cup and offer a toast to finding the murderer! Cheers y’all!

Party Tip: If you are the host/hostess, do not become the main character or narrator. It is hard keeping track of food, drinks, talking with guests, and staying in character!  It’s best to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor (prep) and enjoy the dinner show!

Home is where you park it! Welcome to the trailer park! Get ready for adorable party decor and trailer park party ideas.

Tuna fish cans, bean cans, and newspaper – they all make pretty centerpieces. Just add a tea light!

Hang a clothesline. We hand dyed these old clothes to make the perfect Trailer Park Clothesline. There were a few ways we made different items of clothing. First, we bleached old red and black boxer briefs. They held a little bit of the color but looked filthy and old once bleached. Second, we also took red clay (dirt) and rubbed them into white t-shirts, socks and fabric with rocks. Begin by wetting your fabrics. Then add the dirt. The rocks will help break down the fabric, cause some tears and really grind the dirt in the clothing. Lastly, we dyed some of the fabrics with Kool-Aid. It looks like something red was placed in a white wash. It also gave some of the fabrics a nice pink look! WE thought pink male underwear was perfect for our trailer park.

Speaking of coolers. Try to refrain from having garbage cans on the premise. Adding used plates and cans only adds more decoration to your lawn.

Brown kraft paper using for crafts or parcel helped make our outhouse door. Remember to keep that S in reverse! Amazon has a lot of funny toilet paper! (You can purchase an outhouse door cover here if you don’t want to make one.)

Every party has a pooper and this flower needed a pot. Problem solved using a toddler potty seat. (Normally these can be borrow from someone’s back yard – just look around the trailer park and leave a note!)

To make this beer box garland backdrop, we had hooks in our beam every foot. The beam is about 11 feet across. The beam to the bottom of the last box was about 6 feet, this allowed us to fit 4 boxes on the vertical rope. We weaved first box through the rope and tied near the top with a knot. We fed the rope through the second robe and added another knot. We continued this process with two more boxes for at total of four boxes per vertical rope. We took all our ropes and tied them to the horizontal rope about a foot apart. The hooks were helpful in giving us the exact amount of distance.

Every queen needs a handbag! Get 1.88 inch painters tape and write Gucci, Chanel, LV or whatever your designer brand. It could be kind of funny to do a very cheap brand anyways, like Old Navy or something already budget friendly.

When hosting a party, add a beautiful floral centerpiece. We find Vlasic pickles make a beautiful vase for flowers. Plus save money on the flower water because they already come with a pretty green water inside. Look for flowers in your neighbors yard instead of going to the store – those cost to much anyways.

Every Murder Mystery Party, needs a few accessories. Pick up these props and must have accessories for your Trailer Park Tragedy!

Every murder mystery party has to have a vote, who do you think did it? We think Always Maxi Pads make a nice voting box. How beautiful is that blue and green color combo?
