Holiday Elfing Gifts


 

We live in a small enough town where we interact regularly with the same people. Our mail carrier, our go to checker at the grocery, our local Friday takeout restaurant, etc. Sharing some things I made to drop off this week, along with treats I made and sent to our son's office.

DIY Tumbler:

Every week, we get takeout from our local Mexican restuarant, owned by neighbors in our development. The young woman who takes the orders is always so sweet and knows ours by heart so my weekly call is simply confirming "The usual?". I love that. I made a couple of these glass tumblers which were so much fun, using DTF stickers and cup wraps I found online. This is one I made for her. Kinda hooked!

I fell in love with these whimsical reindeer that I cut apart and applied at different heights on the tumbler. 

I also appreciate the ladies behind the scenes who make our yummy food. Last year I made a bunch of gift tags they loved, so I made some more for them. 




Great way to use up paper scraps too! 


For the owners, I painted this frame from DT, and mounted an ornament. My never-ending paper stash had the background paper that brought it all together! 


Our favorite checker at the grocery store, whom we've gotten to know a bit, gets an LED candle wrapped with a festive tumbler wrap and a wood-slice ornament. I painted the background, added a reindeer sticker and sequins. 


I forgot to take a pic before I packaged but you can peek through here. 


We'll celebrate Christmas with our son in January. He and his office have had a crazy, busy year, so I thought they needed some treats. I did tins of dipped Oreos and chocolate-covered peanut butter balls, and each gets a treat bag with a hot chocolate packet, candy cane spoon, chocolate snowman, candy cane and a bottle of toasted marshmallow syrup. Just waiting on the text that it's been delivered!


These are the kinds of things that fill my heart. I think it does that for many of us Creative types. I bought a big bottle of the Toasted Marshmallow Syrup and filled these smaller ones I found online.
