I bought a huge batch of old decanters on Ebay, bought some organic bathsalts there too...filled up the decanters, tied gold silk cording & added a tassel to them, and voila I had perfect beautiful gifts which could be used over & over. xx'sSplenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-41063891133695765192011-03-30T11:16:27.658-04:002011-03-30T11:16:27.658-04:00I usually have one or two gifts on hand, but never...I usually have one or two gifts on hand, but never more than that.

Love it.<br /><br />I love to bake so I often give a little gift of cookies, say to a colleague at work on a birthday - something thoughtful but not requiring a "proper" gift. I love to package them in interesting Chinese food boxes from the craft store and line with wax paper. I have one triple batch of cookies I make and we freeze and I can always gift some. My friend M. who never made much money always baked (great baker) at Christmas and gave tins of sweets. I always thought a box of her baking was the best gift.<br /><br />So it is often the thought that truly counts for me! And I love the hand made touch.<br /><br />xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-77041593196568000362011-03-29T22:14:38.562-04:002011-03-29T22:14:38.562-04:00i will take the stress bath salts....
