Finishing Touches For Your Holiday Gifts & Entertaining

Ornamental Additions

Step up your gift-wrapping game with some festive ornamental add-ons. Your average paper and bow wrapped presents might feel a little empty after you start using this trick. Simply pick out any ornament and attach it to a special someone’s gift by dangling it off a bow or taping it under the gift label. You can use one of your own personal favorites or a brand-new ornament you bought just for them! This adds a sweet and simple something extra to traditionally bland wrapping paper and everyone is sure to appreciate it as a mini gift.


Something Sweet

The holidays should bring a light and fun atmosphere into this time of year. Help yourself embrace the season of love and joy with crafty, cute ideas. Marshmallow snowmen are an easy do-it-yourself treat that keeps the mess manageable. All you need is frosting, pretzel sticks, and a bag of marshmallows! No unnecessary glitter or glue gets in the way since it’s all edible, plus clean-up is as simple as having a snack. You can let these snowmen hang out around your home since they won’t melt, or you can add a string and turn them into homemade ornaments for the tree.


Keep It Neat

Setting the table soon and feel like you forgot something? Don’t worry—we’ve got your solution to easy and immediate napkin rings. They’re perfect for when the table just doesn’t feel complete. Add a pop of natural, outdoorsy charm by using extra herbs! Any of your fresh kitchen herbs will work. Thyme, parsley, oregano, rosemary, or sage would all be beautiful because of their long stems and thin leaves, making the perfect full and fluffy wreaths to decorate your napkins with that finishing touch!

Make An Event Of It

Turn gift wrapping into a special event with wine and festive music. Set a festive mood when you light the fireplace or switch on the yule log channel to watch it burn bright. Then all you need are the people you hold dear, drinks, and some seasonal tunes. Watch how quickly gift wrapping goes from a chore to a party that you look forward to every year!
