{quickie…..gift ideas, that is}

I thought that title might get your attention 🙂

I always run to the store Christmas Eve to grab that “oh shit, I forgot to get a gift for…”  Anyone else with me?  I have a few clever ideas to help a sister out.   Need a grab-n-go?  Or how about a cute printable to slap on a last minute gift?  I swear a printables makes it look handmade or at least that you put a little thought into it, right?

 

DIY_Holiday_Wine_Labels_01.jpgThe Fresh Exchange created these super cute gold wine labels.

Holiday-Wine-Label-Graphics

Here’s what you will need:

Soak wine bottle in warm water to remove previous label.  Dry and attach Gold wine label printable.  You could even print these out on regular paper and attach with double stick tape.  Yes, the label looks a little better, but if you’re in a pinch – it’s doable.

 

Skip To My Lou‘s “We’re Nut’s About You”

Attach this printable to a mason jar fill with mixed nuts, almonds or if you really feel like steppin it up…..try this rosemary roasted almonds recipe.  It’s BOMB.

Red + Green // Gold + Silver

Print this tag and attach to your favorite candle.  My personal fav at the moment, Bath + Body Leaves.  You can find it here.

 

My current go-to for hostess gifts – homemade croutons + skinny italian dressing.  Just add greens + veggies and viola, your salad is ready.

You can find the recipe for homemade croutons here.
