Gifted









With 2 Christmas Parties coming up this weekend, I opted for a simple little hostess gift and wrapping that used no paper and no tape. I pick up pretty soaps (this one is Spiced Apple) all year long when I see them at a good price. Same with tea towels. These pretty 100% linen towels came from Homesense. All tied with with a reusable ribbon and embellished with a simple tag, I finished it off with a sprig off my Christmas tree. One is for my friend Chickie, so the tag is quite fitting. She usually feeds us Homemade Tourtiere at her Christmas do....she's French Canadian and her pie is the BEST....

Someone asked me yesterday why a robin on my cards since they all disappear in the Winter. I grew up in the UK and the English robin stays all year and are frequently used on Christmas cards. You can see another tea towel wrapped gift right HERE.

  5. Hello Chania,
    What a great gift and so elegant. Love the way you put things together! The robin is very much part of Christmas, especially if it's snowing - we'd always look for them...

  6. What a wonderful idea to wrap in little tea towels as opposed to wrapping paper! I might have to borrow that idea for my MIL!

  8. I believe I have told you before how I miss robins, and now and then one wanders my way lost on it's winter journey I suppose and the sighting is like a special gift to me. I like that we share this same love of robins. <3
    Sopa looks yummy- does it smell that yummy also?
