Hello, 

            Welcome to Week 4, by now you may have the twinkle lights hung,the reindeer have made their enterance, and you have jingled you halls, walls and family(for photos that is:). 'Tis the season now for making and sharing delicious treats! Christmas is a festive time of the year when we celebrate our family, friends, neighbours and pets. Since it is often a busy time of year, I have put together some ideas to package up your treats. What better way to celebrate than with a homemade gift crafted with love & care ?

        Have you taken a look at all our Fantastic Packaging Basics on page 137 of the Annual Catalouge? In my Sample ideas you will find a mix of old and new products. I incourage you to always have a look at these and check the clearance rack area in my store as you will find great things to use not only at christmas but all year round for your gift packaging needs, you just never know when you need to whip up a little last minute treat :) 

        Our Ombre Gift Bags are perfect to hold a Gift Card, Homemade Cards, a Popcorn or Chex Mix  Treat or even a Gift & Card combo. You get 20 bags in 4 of each of the new In Colors and these are Food Safe. Can't beat this great deal. 

        These Kraft Gift Boxes came out in the July- Dec 2021 Mini Catalouge, another great way to package some handmade cards, gingerbread cookies, a pair of gloves & hand cream for these cold wintery days. You get 10 boxes with the acetate window already there, so you just have to decide how to decorate, they are also Food Safe. 

        Now I am the Queen of little gag treats, and these Poop treats make a great stocking stuffer for the kids. The test tubes I picked up from a big box stores dollar bin goodies, so I just added my treats and made a cute tag to compliment. For the Snowman one I used a retired product Kraft Pillow Boxes and again just made a cute tag & emblishments. Would you eat Poop if it was this cute ? HAHAHAHAHA

        Our Clear Acetate Boxes come in two sizes, One fits 5cards and envelopes perfectly and the smaller one will hold tea packets or 5 3x3 cards and envelopes . You get 10 boxes per pack, and you just have to embellish for the perfect last minute gift, or package up a few to have on hand for anyone who stops by to visit, a teacher gift. These are great to have on hand year round for anything. 

         The Hot Chocolate and Bailey's gift pack is my Live Facebook Crafting on Dec.4.2021 tune in to see how I make it. The Cup Carriers are Retired, but the cups are current, you can make a great gift with a Timmies gift card and chocolate, dress up the front and you are good to go! TO GO that is !!!!LOL  You get 8 cups and lids in set and they are also food safe.These Copper Tins are very much Retired, but I may have stocked up on them :) these I have made into a Get Well Kit, they contain honey, advil, tea, Chckien noodle soup packet, hand sanitizer, halls and a 3x3 get well card. If someone is under the weather this is something easily you can drop off on their door step to get them back on the mend. 

        Hope you have LOVED the Ideas and your mind is turning with all that you can do with our packaging, take a look if you haven't already and keep an eye out for new stuff coming in the january mini catalouge. See you next week for Week 3 of the Series, and happy packaging.

Paper Hugs,
