One thing we really love to do at Starfish Cottage is take something very ordinary and transform it into something EXTRAordinary...I also love a beautifully wrapped/packaged gift. I like to buy simple white gift bags and "dress them up" a little...
I have a whole collection of colorful tissue paper, ribbons, tags, etc... I use to create beautiful and unique gifts. Here are a few ideas...
Classic, coastal, crisp blue and white...
Sassy and sophisticated for a wedding or shower gift...
Cute blues and greens for a little boy's birthday gift...
Pink and green for a little girl...
Black, white and khaki for a sophisticated baby gift...
Colorful and tropical pinks and greens for a Lilly Pullitzer- inspired gift bag.
The possibilites are endless and I have a lot of fun decorating and making special gifts for friends and family...all of the gifts in these photos are handmade using decorative papers, stamps, and ribbons. Most of the items can be purchased at a dollar store and embellished- gifts don't have to be expensive to look great or let someone know you care! Think outside the box next time you are looking for a gift and make one yourself!
