If you're going to make a handmade present, you may as well get creative on the packaging, too. Some fun ideas:Gift card box by Heather Bailey

That's a great way to make a gift look unique! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI love the monogram gift tag idea. Must remember this!
ReplyDelete*sigh* If only I had time to make those neat things. Don't expect your gifts to be wrapped very prettily, Boss! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMum, the bag lady
Awesome! It’s a great way to make a gift look unique!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you so awesome? I am off to cut up some Target bags for the pom-poms....
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the monogram gift tag idea, too. Tags are always one of those things that I struggle with!
ReplyDeleteI love all these ideas! I can't wait to make monogram tags. I made Creature Comforts plastic bag bows out of all my old saved plastic bags - they look great!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Martha's gift tags. This will be my way to "monogram" my tags this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun ideas! Thank you. I love initials on the boxes. Last year my sister in law made tags by cutting out decorative paper and sticking a nicely cute out picture of the recipient in the middle of them. I think I'll do a combo of the initials and the picture tags this year.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS IDEA! I'm using plain, bright colored wrapping paper for Christmas gifts this year (Ikea - clearance) and this will look wonderful with it!
ReplyDeleteI like the monogram gift tags!
ReplyDeleteFail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month, that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day; and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it; for mirth is also of Heaven's making. your family Happy Holidays and a great and prosperous new year!
