Sometimes it’s so simple to add a personal touch to your Garnishes. With some help from the Easter aisle at Target, we turned our ordinary berry baskets into some Easter fun!
We used some glitter paint to personalize these berry baskets, but you can use stamps, stickers or even some markers. We found a bunch of Easter goodies…how cute are those pinwheels? And get this, that grass in the baskets is edible! Garnish is a blank canvas, just waiting for you to use your imagination.

This is our final experiment with chalkboard paint, and we think it turned out great. Here we used our to go cups and coffee clutches.
You could paint up a bunch of coffee cuffs and leave them in the cupboard. When you want to leave a special message for someone, just slide one on. And being able to put your name on one of our to go cups will never leave you guessing….which one is mine? You could use some painters tape to create cool shapes for your chalkboard paint, but we choose to leave some rough edges to ours. Remember, this is only a sampling, you’re only limited by your imagination. Chalkboard paint would work great on any of our paper products…the french fry scoop, our boxes and what about the berry baskets! Have fun and create some moments!

Told you we were going to talk hearts this week! Cookies are always a welcome treat, and when they look like hearts, they are perfect for Valentine’s Day!
We used our glassine bags and some twine to package up theses yummies. If you are going to bring a bunch into school or to work (won’t you be popular with a basket of these on your desk!), why not stack them up inside our rectangular berry box. Heart cookies are definitely a sweet surprise!

Here’s the problem…you just got invited last minute for holiday cocktails…what to do? You know your hosts are already going to receive a dozen bottles of wine, you want to do something different. Here’s the solution….cookies the Garnish way.
This time of year it’s always good to have a stash of treats and Garnish in the pantry. We got these delectable cookies at Trader Joe’s…and low and behold, the package fit perfectly into our pint size rectangle berry box (was meant to be, obviously!). During the holidays season, grocery stores and your local food shops always have a good mix of yummies…and with a little repackaging, they look fab! Of course, if you have homemade on hand…that’s great too! We added some felt and holiday ribbon. Now all that is left to do is slip the whole thing into one of our cello bags and you are good to go!

Here is a quick and easy gift for giving. It’s perfect for your child’s teacher, bus driver…or even as a hostess gift. What about some cocoa to go?
Two of our plastic milk bottles fit inside our small rectangle berry basket. What could be better? All you need is some ingredients. We chose some milk and cocoa mix for this gift, but why not some apple cider and mulling spices? Then we wrote some simple instructions our oval labels, added some straws and dressed it up with a bit of ribbon. So easy!

We can’t even handle how CUTE this birthday party is! Tessa threw this amazing fete for her son’s third birthday. Sometimes it’s hard to come up with a theme for boys that does not involve trucks, dinosaurs or trains! We love the idea of this sort of “woodland” theme. And check out how Tessa Garnished it up…

Even a 3 year old can have a little “chic” on his birthday. Tessa used our rectangle berry baskets, waxed tissue, no soup for you containers, wooden cutlery, paper straws and round kraft labels. Check out the full post here. Amazing party Tessa…can we come next time?

Why not welcome your guests with their own personalized berry basket! Perfect for a buffet, a picnic, or you could put one at each place setting. In fact, you could write just about anything….cheer on your favorite team, or wish a happy holiday!
We filled ours up with some wooden cutlery and a paper straw inside our glassine bag. We also added a fun can of soda and filled one of our small ripple cups with M&M’s. The possibilities are endless….maybe some cheese, crackers and fruit, or how about an assortment of munchies for the big game? Here’s a hint, we used a Sharpie Paint Marker…we found it worked far better than a regular Sharpie. So…what are you going to fill your baskets with?

A shopping trip at our local craft store inspired us for this new DIY. Plus, we are keeping with the theme of the week…berry baskets! We found some sheet moss and double stick tape, and our idea was born. And it took about five minutes to do…don’t you love that part!
Here is what you need…
We used our original pint size berry box for this one, but really, it can be used on any of the sizes. This sheet moss is so easy to use because it is on a backing…that way it’s not coming off all over the place. Finally, some double stick tape. You could use a glue gun too, but this was so easy (and no burning your fingers!).
Here’s the how to…
1. Cut a strip of moss the same height as your berry box. We chose to leave the rim of the box exposed for a little contrast.
2. Apply double stick tape to the top edge and bottom edge of the berry box.
3. After you have applied the moss, trim along the bottom edge for a clean finish.
4. You’re done! How easy was that??
Here’s how it looks…
We filled this berry box up with some leaves and added some kettle corn in one of our cello bags. Now who wouldn’t want to take one of these home, or get this as a hostess gift. Moss never looked so good!

We’re pretty sure we’ve told you to “think outside the box” or “to expect the unexpected” before. But, that’s really what Garnish is all about, creating that moment….that something that makes people go “wow!”, “you shouldn’t have” or “what a cool idea!”. So if those creative juices are feeling a little slow this Monday morning, we’ve got a suggestion for you!
Instead of sending people home with leftovers after your get together, why not send them home with some treats instead! How cute are these Rice Krispie treats packaged up in our new rectangular pint berry box? We just wrapped each one in some of our kraft tissue and tied them up with some bakery twine. You could even make these part of your table setting….what a perfect look for fall.
Speaking of the unexpected….check out this recipe for dairy free Rice Krispie squares, can you spot the “unexpected” ingredient that makes this recipe better than the original?

Here are some more new Garnishes to share. We have added three new berry baskets to our roster! You can now purchase the pint and quart wooden berry baskets in a rectangle shape…so cool! We also have a 1.5qt cardboard berry box with a handle. The handle is totally flexible, so if you don’t want to use it, you can just tuck it into the box.
