Brown paper packages {tied up with string...}

One of our favorite things is the ingenious on-line shop, Garnish. They supply the blank canvas with nifty packaging bits & pieces like kraft paper, bakers twine, labels, loaf pans & kraft gable boxes and you customize to your heart's content!

What a fun way to entertain and add cute custom details when giving food, gifts and for other special events & occasions. The possibilities are endless to add a little Garnish to your life: wedding favors, welcome gift packages for out-of-town guests, bridesmaid survival kits (think snacks, bottled water & other little pick-me-ups for the day), bringing homemade treats to work, welcoming the new neighbors...or sending your dinner guests home with the leftovers.

We love these ideas from the super nice gals over at Garnish:

Keeping warm watching the St. Patrick's Day Parade

Tailgating or watching those weekend soccer games

Sweets "to go"

Providing inspiration at the "kid's" table

We hope you {think Garnish} next time you are in the gift giving mood...be sure to visit their website and blog for ideas & inspiration!
