To me, Thanksgiving is all about acknowledging the blessings in your life. I am so fortunate to have an amazing aunt. She is so loving, supportive, and thoughtful. One of the amazing things about her is that she never forgets a birthday. Or a holiday for that matter! Growing up, I always had a special card in the mail just for me. Now she does it for my kids. It made my day then and it so greatly touches my heart now. Anyway, she has a birthday coming up, so I wanted to send a little something for her to find in her mailbox too!
I used this for a birthday gift, but it’s so easy to adapt for Christmas. I think it would make a great little gift for your neighbors, girlfriends, even for teachers!
I used a Reuseable Sandwich/Snack bag to hold the little goodies inside. Afterwards, she can use it for its intended purpose, but it’s definitely not limited to that. It would be a great little place to hold all of her Christmas gift tags or to throw a few pieces of jewelry in if she’s traveling. So versatile!
Inside, I tucked in a few items I found from a great etsy shop called Dress Green. Specifically, I got her the Tricky Lip Lush and the Travel Size Mango and Pomegranate Body Scrub. They came already wrapped, so I just tucked them in the bag. So easy!
To package it all up, I used an extra Favor Bag from our pirate party. I love that the red stripe is generic enough that I can use them for Christmas or more birthdays later on in the year. Added a sticker that came with my Erin Condren planner and off into the mail it went.
Happy Birthday, Aunt Rie! I’m actually a little EARLY this year! We love you. 🙂
