Don't you think the smallest of gifts can be the most special? Sometimes adding a few small touches to a simple gift can elevate it to something more grand. I thought I'd share with you the little things I added to my girlfriends presents to make it just that!
{ 1. } Antique German Dresdens were used as gift tags. I found a big pile of these at Junk Bonanza and couldn't pass them up. You can find similar ones online or at flea markets & antique stores. Keep your eye out for these year round and tuck them away for your special packages.
{ 2. } World Market had a ton of unique chocolates and holiday wrappings. I kept with a simple red & cream theme with a little bit of gold for sparkle.
{ 3. } Instead of using a paper bag I found these woven sacks with red braided handles. Too cute!
{ 4. } To wish the recipients Good Luck for the coming New Year I added chocolate horseshoes and tossed in a handful of foil wrapped coins.
{ 5. } And these adorable Tea Cakes (box of 6 for 2.99) fit the bill perfectly with their red & white striped foils. Inside is a marshmallow topped shortbread cookie covered in chocolate! Wouldn't these be perfect for a stocking? They look like they've been made by Mrs. Claus!
What kind of little touches do you like to add to your holiday gifts?
