hello all,
as holidays approach - and i include thanksgiving (as it seems all of the marketing sector forgot about it this year) - it is a time for sharing extra love and care. as a result, just giving gifts rarely makes the cut for me. i love to craft things, or give something handmade, to the people i love, based on what they need, and i know would make them feel good, especially when they host the warmest, sweetest dinners.
{source of image} crafting however, as we all well understand needs time and this year in particular for me has left me with very little of it. well, that is why i compiled a list, as mentioned last week, of my favorite, most intriguing, diy projects that will eliminate any sense of being overwhelmed. I've included a couple we've done together and you enjoyed!
* for the sweet tooth: these remarkably tasty
vegan ginger cookies by chef chloe coscarelli.
* for the always busy one: these
essential oil sprays. these inspired me to do a
lavender calming one, and a
orange energizing one for my friend! i especially liked the saucy labels. FIY spray bottles are also available at
whisk.
* for a little one: these
chalkboard blocks * for the art lover: this
abstract painting inspired notebook we did earlier this year.
* for the romantic: this pretty pair of
natural rock stud earrings. if you like you could pick a rock based on its characteristics and even include a small print about it in your gift.
* for the decorateur: these wonderful
minimalist triangle ornaments that will remind you of teepess. so unique right? (i'll try posting these for you when i make them!)
what kind of gifts do you like giving to a hostess for thanksgiving?
