'Tis the Season to be an Elf - Idea #5


Idea #5 - Dish Cloth and Towel

A big bow tied around the two sets and the gift is good to go.  Doesn't get much easier than that!

'Tis the Season to be an Elf - Idea #4


Idea #4 - Lotion 

A simple (and smelly) way to give lotion is to take an empty soap box (like Dial or Irish Springs - whatever you have on hand), cut the top off, wrap it with wrapping paper and tape handles to the inside of the box (see picture below if you are now confused). Fill box with tissue paper and lotion.

'Tis the Season to be an Elf - Idea #3



Idea #3 - Root Beer and a can of Beans

There is not much to enhance the appearance of a bottle of root beer and a can of beans.  Add a ribbon if you must.

This is an odd combination at best, but there is no denying how hilarious that caption is! Hilarious trumps odd!

'Tis the Season to be an Elf - Idea #2


Idea #2 - S'mores in a Jar {Graham crackers, chocolate bars, marshmallows}

After much searching I finally found the blog that went with this picture I found on Pinterest {Click here for the recipe on pharMA}.  Simply add a ribbon or twine to the jar.  It seems like a nice alternative (not as messy and saves money) to the "original" way although I'm sure no one would be upset with a box of graham crackers, a bar of chocolate and a bag of marshmallows!

*The bottom of the tag is simply directions to "cook" the s'mores.

Here is a tag without the directions in case you simply want to give graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows.

'Tis the Season to be an Elf - Idea #1


Idea #1 - Strainer, pasta, sauce, etc

A colander ("strainer") filled with all things pasta - it's an Italian dinner dream.  Maybe even add a candle or two to promote a romantic dinner for two (or five if you want to include the kiddos).
