Gift Giving Stationary Kit

Do you have someone in your life that is really hard to buy gifts for?  Or find it impossible to get the perfect gift for a crafter that has everything?  For me that is my sister.  I struggle every year to come up with a thoughtful gift and to resist going the easy gift card route.  This year I think I outdid myself by making the perfect crafty gift for a crafter, like my sister.

My sister loves scrapbooking, but I hesitate to buy her supplies she might already have.  Instead, I decided to make her some supplies.  Rather than just limiting the gift to scrapbooking supplies, I made her a gift-giving kit.  She puts a ton of energy into making handmade gifts for her love ones and I wanted to give her an easy way to embellish those gifts for the giving.

I filled a nice tin box full of:

  • hand-punched elements (using my own punches and paper I had on hand)
  • hand-stamped wood veneer gift tags
  • DIY fabric tape
  • DIY gift bags
  • printable vintage trim gift tags
  • printable mini gift cards
  • Decorative clothespins
  • stationary

I put a lot of time into making each of the elements for her, which in the long run will save her time and still allow her to wrap her gifts with a handmade touch.

I neatly packaged each of the elements in little cellophane bags.  I punched circles from a paper grocery bag and ran them thru the Xyron sticker machine to make my own kraft stickers.  I used them to seal each bag and label the contents.  I added a few embellishments to the tin, like my sister’s name and some adhesive ribbon to dress it up.

Once I got done I did not want to give it away.  That is the sign of a good gift, right?…one you would like to receive yourself!
