Christmas Movie Gift Bag

Ever stuck for what to get some people as a gift? I don't like giving clutter and trust me children get given a lot of stuff which is either clutter or will break in 3 minutes! So for two lovely young girls we gave them a movie pack - consisting of a voucher for their tickets and also a bag containing popcorn and a bag of jelly snakes to enjoy whilst at the movies - some summer holiday fun! This of course would be suitable for any occasion, age or gender.

Pretty cool hey? And it also saves on gift wrapping as the decorated bag has it all - how awesome is that spiral punch! The gift card was held securely in a separate tag pouch that I tied on with ribbon.............fast, effective and well received.

Flip Top Box

As it's getting closer to Christmas I thought I would stay with the festive theme, but show you some little boxes I've been making rather than just cards (not that there is anything wrong with cards of course!) This was a little box that is made using a 25cm x 15cm piece of card stock and is extremely sturdy and so easy to make - I can see myself making a little pyramid of these gems. What do you think - pretty nice aren't they?
