December Friendship Gifts!

I made these December friendship gifts back before our annual party and gave them out as favours as well.  I made extras so I have something to give everyone who visits over the next couple of weeks!

I got white paper bags from Michael's and put my own personalized stickers on them - I found the image online (three cheers for google!) and added in our names and printed them on sticker paper.

In each bag I put a packet of hot chocolate and a chocolate covered candy cane.  I folded the top down, punched a hole and tied it with a ribbon.  Easy peasy!

I completed these in one evening so it was easy to look like a superstar!

Have a fabulous day!

Autumn Friendship Gifts

Inspired by Miss Janice's friendship gifts I decided I better have some at my front door for any guests we have in the next 6 weeks or so.  I was in the bulk store and saw caramel kisses and knew they would be perfect!

I put 10 kisses in each bag (the dipped pretzel size found in the cake decorating and candy supply department) and used cute autumn ribbon to tie around them.  I stuck a fabric autumn leaf in each one and stood them in a little basket at the front door.  I bought the fabric leaves as a bunch in the dollar store - I just cut them off the 'branch' they came on.  If I use kisses again I will take the little tags off each one first...once I had them all done I realised they sort of detract from the look but I was not about to undo them all and retie them. 

All ready to give to all of the lovely people who visit us!  I made a dozen of them which took me less than an hour - the hardest part was tying them without someone else to help hold it all together.

Have a fabulous day!
