A quick gift! Give a jar of your homemade preserves with two loaves of freshly-baked bread wrapped in a pretty linen towel.
Keep giftwrap handy for last-minute gifts. Store rolls of paper and plenty of ribbon in a pretty crock...charming in the corner of the craft room.
Place packets of seeds in a basket by your front door...let visitors pick their favorite pack to take home. As the flowers bloom, friends will be reminded of you.
Dorm rooms can be cozy, so a small basket filled with travelsize bath bars, bath oil, beads and herbal shampoo is not only thoughtful, but just the right size to give a student going away to college.
Frame a piece of old-fashioned lace and some vintage buttons from your grandmother's sewing box. What a sweet remembrance!
When shipping cookies, place pieces of wax paper between cookie layers and add mini marshmallows to make sure cookies don't move around. Tuck in a couple packages of cocoa for a great gift.
Keep an eye out for unique cookie cutters...tie a nametag on to use for placecards, to cut tea sandwiches, or to add whimsy to garlands.
