1 day to christmas

So, the world survived and we shall continue...

 

6. SIMPLICITY

just paper and string.

5. GIVE MORE

 

wrap your gift with a scarf and brooch as little extras for your recipient.

4. LABEL IT

write your message at the back of the tag and tie it up with a pretty piece of ribbon
(fyi, wine is the red of the month)


3. BRIGHT COLOURS, BABY!!!

 

I say jewel tones and neons are the way to go.

2. ADD A BALLOON

How awesome would it be to receive a gift with a helium-blown balloon  attached.

 
1.  THE OLD SAYING - GIVE FROM THE HEART!!



Merry Christmas from the TMG team. xo



 

Perhaps a good subsititute for countdowns 8 and 7

I apologise if you were waiting for numbers 8 and 7, you know... regular hustle and bustle of late night work and all that. But for those who have waited patiently, here's my two cents on the topic.

I was thinking of what creative ways I could present for numbers 8 and 7 to put a krinkle-twist to your holiday gift, while waiting for the wrapper-genius to post her entries*, and came up with these ideas.

For all us gift buyers in strife of finding the perfect gift for that special someone, here's a little suggestion. I do not advocate shoving an idea down someones throat, but if you were just looking for some ideas, here are some I thought would be sweet in a deep and meaningful way.

Countdown 8 days to Christmas:
How about purchasing an animal for a family who needs it which might quite possibly bring hope to said family in need. And I don't mean for your next-door neighbor. Perhaps if you type down "buy a cow for a family" you'll be able to do more research on the topic and feel swayed to ponder on the idea.
How would this be a Christmas gift for a special someone?
Buy the animal under his/her name. (Perhaps chocolate to go along with the cert?)

Countdown 7 days to Christmas:
Sponsoring a child. Same concept, but for a little human being :)
Again, how would this be a Xmas gift for your loved one?
Sponsor the child under his/her name. They'll get updates throughout the year, and that warm fuzzy feeling they'll get, well, it goes a long way.

Hope this helped :)
Any great Christmas ideas - gifts/parties/carols/etc? Let us know!

TTFN,

9. PERSONALIZE

 

(xmas reindeer drawing by mhs)

Stamp, draw, glitter - go crazy!! :)

 

Of carousels and missing undies. Otherwise known as Somewhere there "lah" & Tickle me pink

Meanwhile, in the land down under, one of the busier streets in town appears to be host to a most exciting contraption.

Lo':

I so wanted to be part of those celebrating its presence, but alas, I think I am deemed a wee bit wizened for such business. Boo.



And much later on, we travel to suburbia in the East, and what do we set our sights on. Why men parading their lack of *ahem* unmentionables.

Gotcha':

It ain't what you were thinking- (hurr hurrrr)
Keep it PG people, PG!


So what non-sensical things have you chanced upon in your hometown?

Toodlee-oodleesss~
