What do you get for the person in your life who has traveled the world and seen all the world has to offer? Well, they probably have not seen everything, and there’s surely something that they would love. Think about a place they really want to go, or a place that they have talked about several times. Perhaps you could give a gift that reminds them of that special place, or something that will be useful to them in their travels.
Because I love of all things Christmas and flowers, these paper poinsettias immediately caught my attention. They are beautiful little ornaments, but would also look fabulous on top of a gift box.
How many times have you gone to the store looking for the perfect gift bag, but either they don’t have what you’re looking for or the bags are overpriced?

Whether you absolutely adore animals or just appreciate their existence, these gift suggestions are sure to bring a smile to your face.
What’s not to love about bunting? It adds a festive flair to every occasion. Bunting is so versatile—it can be made from paper, felt, fabric—today I made it from burlap. Hang bunting as is, or decorate using stencils and paint, or whatever you like. Have fun!
This awesome tree slice centerpiece could be used in so many different ways to add a gorgeous, natural touch to your Christmas decor. You could pair it with a rustic floral centerpiece, display it with reindeer figurines, use it to present a platter full of yummy cookies—the possibilities are endless!
Kids, kids, kids. So cute and so full of energy. I love their expressions, the funny things they say, and just observing how they perceive the world. One thing that I love about children and childhood in general is play—it’s all about having fun! I’ve picked out a few things for a range of ages. Enjoy!
This is a very inexpensive, yet very impressive table arrangement. It is a nice arrangement for any winter-themed occasion—dinner parties, birthdays, showers, and of course, Christmas! I collected the branches from outside, but you could easily find similar branches at a craft store.
You’ve heard the old adage Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. And you probably know someone who is an advocate of preserving the planet’s natural resources. But, even if you do not agree with your “green” friend’s world view, I’m sure you appreciate the creativity and craftsmanship required to make these products. Several of these are handmade from reclaimed materials. Buy a gift. Save the planet. Make your friend twice as happy.
