Use these fun favor cones as Christmas party favors for your guests. Each cone can hold a small gift, such as an ornament or edible goodies. Fill with chocolates, candy canes, popcorn, or jelly beans. These are also great for giving baked goodies to co-workers and friends. If using these to hold baked goods, place the goodies in a food safe bag prior to putting into the paper cone.
This cute bag imitates Santa’s gift sack. I made mine from classic holiday red fabric with black satin ribbon, complete with miniature bells. Jingle the bells, for Christmas is coming!
These versatile bags can be used for party favors, small gifts, and little goodies you plan on giving to your co-workers. Use a solid color fabric and you can personalize the bag, or use foam stamps to make a nice print. If you use a printed fabric, use caution when cutting and sewing the fabric, as you don’t want a bag with an upside-down print! (Learn from my mistake—the first bag I made was upside-down.)
So, you’ve got all the stuff for your gift basket, but need some help putting it all together? No problem! I have listed some basic gift wrapping supplies, although you may decide if you would like to wrap with something other than cellophane (tulle, for example). Leave a comment if you have any questions about wrapping or for advice!
Who loves gift baskets? Who loves giving gift baskets? Giving an assortment of goodies in a basket is a great way to present your gifts to a loved one. A collection of hand-picked items shows the recipient how much thought and care you poured into the gift. It can be difficult trying to select the items to go into a basket, but be at ease because we’ve picked out some good stuff for you! You’ll be able to whip your basket(s) together in no time and have time to spare!
Today’s installment of gift baskets is chock full of ideas for a tasty gourmet snack basket. We have tasted many of these items and assure you that they are a special treat! These are made with heart and soul by American artisans. In addition to giving your loved one premium fare, you can feel great about yourself knowing that you are helping support families and local economies.
Ever since I visited Sweden during December a few years ago, I have loved Swedish Christmas decorations, which use lots of candles, hearts, lights, and the colour red—not to mention the Julbock [Yule Goat]!
Bring a bit of Sweden into your home this holiday with this pillow that features the Julbock, Dalahäst [Dala horse], hearts, and the Swedish crown. The pillow would add some festive whimsy to your bed, couch, or armchair.
I think these handmade earrings are irresistible. Dainty enough for a special occasion, yet playful and fun for everyday wear.
Meet Pearl the Polar Bear who is just too cute for words! This wooly is needle felted and made with pure 100% wool, and I love how simple yet sweet she is. Pearl would look great on your Christmas tree, mantle, or even on your desk at work for a wee touch of wintery joy.
I love these snowflake coasters! They are cute, festive, and will look pretty on a table, too! They’re made from wood composite, painted white, and sealed with varnish to protect from water damage. Check them out here.
These mini pillows are adorable handmade Christmas ornaments. They can be used to decorate many things in addition to your Christmas tree; they can be hung on a banner or can be suspended in the air in a window or doorway with fishing line. They are also wonderful handmade gifts.
