If you follow me on Pinterest, Twitter or Facebook, I am sure you have seen references FirewaterFriday. Also, I am almost sure you don’t know what the heck it is all about! Here goes:
FirewaterFriday is more of a mindset. It is about cracking one open, taking a breather, shooting the…breeze with friends and regaining perspective. Have you ever had a FirewaterFriday moment? Take this zinger of mine: phone stopped working, toddler drew all over the walls, computer crashed, dinner burned and forgot to pay a VERY important bill…all in the same hour. THAT was my FirewaterFriday moment this week! It isn’t about getting 21st-birthday-drunk; it is about having a glass of wine and saying “Screw it; I need a break!” I don’t care if you down a shot or a green tea; sometimes you need to surrender to the $hitty things in life and take a break.
Well, this Friday, FirewaterFriday meets Five Dollar Friday!

If you know me, you KNOW how much I love giving gifts…and you know how frugal I am. Nothing makes a better hostess, housewarming or thank you gift than the gift of booze.
Take a look at the cute $5 ideas below and feel free to steal them for yourself!
Bubbly, Anyone?
I received a LOT of comments on my mini champagne bucket favors that I gave to my gals last weekend. Each of them were less than $5! Here were the supplies & a pic in case you missed it:
Mini bottle of Segura Viudas Champagne ($3.50 @ Binny’s or Cost Plus World Market)
Galvanized bucket with chalkboard square ($1 @ Target)
Straw, raffia and chalk (pennies)
S’more Drinks!
Fall is coming. Don’t argue, it is inevitable anyways. I think a S’moretini gift is perfect! Take a look:
Mini Hershey bar
Mini graham cracker pack
Munch pack of mini marshmallows (by Nabisco; so cute!)
50 ML bottle of 99 Whipped Liqueur ($1.99 @ Binny’s)
Martini glass from the Dollar Store
Wrap this up in a clear gift bag with a ribbon and attach the printable recipe I created below. Add in mini bottles of Godiva liqueur and Bailey’s if you want to go over the top!
Last but not least…the day after drink!
