We received a lovely email from Sarah, showing us how creative she was with some Garnishes.  She put together these thoughtful gifts for her child’s teacher…how cute!

Sarah says:

thank you so much for your fantastic products! we made 4 preschool gifts for my son’s teachers, for the end of the year. the ‘two for the road’ container was perfect for a pot of flowers and a ‘no soup for you’ cup of sweets. they were easy for my 4 year old to carry and give to his teachers, who all thought they were fantastic.
thank you for helping us make the day of some ladies who work very hard at loving little ones!

Thank you so much for sharing Sarah!  What are you thinking about giving as teacher’s gifts this year?  Give us a holler and let us know.

We have yet to find a person that doesn’t like pizza.  So instead of bringing a bottle of wine to your next get together, bring your host the fixin’s for tomorrow night’s dinner!

We put together a “make your own pizza” kit.  We included some dough mix (pick this up at your grocery store, the kind you add water to!) in our tie top bag, and some pizza sauce and pepperoni in our small no soup for you containers.  All of this fits nicely into our cardboard berry box.  Don’t forget to add some labels so they know what is inside. We went for a classic pepperoni pizza, but you can create whatever is your favorite.  The gift of pizza…it doesn’t get much better than that!

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.  Don’t worry if you forgot, we’ve got a great idea for you.  And the best part…it is super easy!  You know how sometimes you leave an apple on the teacher’s desk?  Well kick it up a notch and leave an apple pie!

It just so happens that the mini apple pies that they sell at Starbucks fit perfectly into our large nut and party cup.  It was meant to be.  We added in of our Say What? wooden forks, jazzed up with some ribbon (just use a handy glue dot to attach it).  That’s all there is to it.  If you don’t have a Starbucks in your neck of the woods, there are lots of mini treats to be had at your local bakery or grocery store.  Say “thanks”, the Garnish way!

Whether you are looking for a party favor, or just want to Garnish the everyday (our favorite!), tea and cookies is always a welcome gift.

We’ve made this one to go…all they need to do is add water.  We’ve included a tea bag and two cookies in our glassine bag.  Attach your treat and a spoon with some twine to our ripple cup.  That’s all you need.  Now, someone special can have a break at the office, or a fun treat when they get home.

There is nothing better than a nice cool bottle of lemonade.  And spreading the sunshine is so much easier when you have some Garnish 8oz bottles on hand.  Just add some handy drink packets…don’t forget a straw.

This is a great idea for any kind of party. Spread the love, spread the sunshine….all it takes is a little Garnish!

Here are the Mother’s Day ideas that we posted last year.  We thought you would enjoy a little extra inspiration with this Mother’s Day brunch.  Remember, this is also a great idea for a bridal or baby shower, or even just a lovely Sunday afternoon.  Add some mint juleps, and you’ve got a get together for the Kentucky Derby this weekend!

Not Always What It Seems

It’s Got To Be 5 O’Clock Somewhere!

We Heart Moms

Just a note, the free printables that we offered last year with our Mother’s Day promotion are no longer available.  Don’t worry, we will have something fun to offer you in the upcoming weeks!

Happy Friday everyone!  This week just flew by….can you believe it is almost May?  Where does the time go?

We couldn’t let the week end without some more inspiration for Mother’s Day gifts.  Today we are featuring our two drink carrier.  Of course, it’s just not for “two drinks”…but for all kinds of goodies.

We have put some of Mom’s favorite magazines on one side, and a sweet snack and delicious drink, in our ripple cup, on the other.  How perfect!  Mom can take this to her favorite spot and have a “Mom Time Out”…the best kind!

Here is a Mother’s Day gift  idea for those moms that like to cook!  Who doesn’t love some fun colored spatulas?  You can find them just about everywhere, and they are available at all price points, so they are affordable too.

Garnish burlap bag

How cute are they in our burlap bags?  They are so handy for all sorts of gifts.  We added some contrasting ribbon and a button from our button box.  And if you want to add something else, this cookbook from Donna Hay is the perfect compliment!

Mother’s Day will soon be here…May 13th to be exact.  Time to start thinking how we can show Mom how much we appreciate all she does for us!

We think, that with our majorly hectic schedules, the best gift we can give Mom is time!  Just an hour, that’s all she needs.  So why not give her a gift to pamper herself with a nice long soak in the tub.  We’ve put together a little kit in our squat gable box to give you some inspiration.  Some bubbles, a wash mitt, an eye mask and some strawberries to munch on in our geometric dish.  Don’t forget to include one of our hand stamped wooden forks!  If Mom wants to indulge in a movie (without little people, or big people constantly asking questions!), why not put together a movie night kit with her favorite snacks and something to drink.  If Mom likes to garden you could put together some new gardening tools.  But the most important gift, is one hour of uninterrupted deliciousness!

p.s. if you’re the Mom yourself….you might want to pass these hints along :)

Garnish + Enjoy
