Have you heard of Elf On The Shelf?  Do you do Elf On The Shelf with your children?  We have been seeing so many fun ideas with this little elf all over the internet.  So we were thrilled when Monica sent us her way to do Elf On The Shelf…

Monica used so many of our Garnish products….nut and party cups, paper straws, wooden cutlery, ripple cups and white cups.  Here is what she had to say…

Just wanted to let you know I loved the items I purchased from you site. I have two young kids and we are starting a new North Pole breakfast tradition for the morning after we trim our tree. Also a day to introduce our Elf on the Shelf. It was a success and super cute thanks to your products. We had a small cocoa bar, gingerbread muffins, pancakes, and homemade marshmallows. The kids especially loved the ripple cups! My daughter had four cups of cocoa :) Here are a couple of pictures of our table. Thanks again!

Monica

We are so happy that Garnish could play a part in a new tradition in your family.  We have always said that Garnish is about creating moments….this is truly what we’re all about!

Looking for a quick and easy gift to bring to your next holiday party (Thanksgiving!).  Here’s a thought, what about chocolate spoons?  They are quick and easy to make.  All you need to do is melt some chocolate and then dip some of our wooden spoons.  Next lay them out to cool on some wax paper or pop them in the fridge.

We added a little something extra with the peppermint sprinkles.  To make the spoons a bit more festive, we stamped the handles with some fun holiday sayings.  You could also personalize them with names, like for your child’s teacher.  Next, put them inside our small cello bag and tie them up with some twine.  So easy!

Who loves cheesecake?  We sure do!  It’s super easy to make (even more so if you buy a mix), and makes the perfect dessert for your next party.  But instead of making a traditional large cheesecake, we added a little Garnish…

1. We chose to use a mix, but you could whip up your favorite recipe instead.  We also decided to use whole graham crackers instead of the crumbs.

2. Next we spooned some of the cheesecake mixture into our mini plastic cups.  Here is a hint…use a damp paper towel to wipe the inside rim of the glass, it helps to remove excess mixture.

3. We also used our large push-pops.  We crumbled up some graham crackers in the bottom, then used a plastic sandwich bag, with the corner cut off, as a piping bag.  This helps to get the mixture to the bottom.  Here is a hint, use some rice in mug to hold up your push-pops, it works like a charm.

Finally, we added a little square of graham cracker to each one and put out a few of our demi-tasse wooden spoons.  There you have it, so simple and sooooo yummy!

We just had a customer send us some pictures from her daughter’s third birthday (everyone is turning 3!), and we knew we had to share!  Michelle’s daughter is a fan of the “Princess and the Frog”, but not very princess-y herself.  So Michelle put a new twist on theme….check it out

Michelle use our small ripple cups, wooden cutlery and our small no soup for you containers.  You can read all the details over at Michelle’s blog.  Thanks so much for sharing Michelle, what fun day for your daughter!

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 basketswaxed tissue, no soup for you containers, wooden cutlerypaper straws and round kraft labels.  Check out the full post here.  Amazing party Tessa…can we come next time?

We’ve always said, a Garnish item isn’t always what it seems.  For instance…our wooden demi-tasse spoon.  Sure, they’re for ice cream or for stirring your coffee, but they also makes a great gift tag!

How cute are these bags full of Halloween treats?!  There is so much great, FREE, clipart on the internet.  We just put our small kraft bags through the printer, and voila!  Then we searched out our rubber stamps and personalized some spoons.  Who knew you could use a regular hole punch to make a hole in the handle. And finally, tie the whole thing up with some of our black and white bakery twine.  This idea would work great for the holidays, or a birthday party too.

Boo!

Halloween is coming and that means we can buy candy corn!  We love candy corn here at Garnish, and we’re seeing lots of candy corn all over the internet.  We found this recipe for candy corn cheesecake mousse via The TomKat Studio.

Have you ever heard the song by Suzanne Vega..”Caramel”?  Well, it’s been running through our brain today, and that got us thinking about caramel apples!  The perfect fall treat, and so easy to make.

All you need is some apples, and the caramel that comes in sheets.  You can easily find it in the produce section of your grocery store.  Just follow the directions on the package, it literally takes less than 10 minutes.  Of course, instead of using the wooden sticks that come with the caramel, we decided to use one of our wooden forks and a striped paper straw.  We made up some pretty paper labels on the computer, and wrapped the whole thing up in our glassine bag.  Finish it off with some bakery twine, and you’re done!

So pretty and SO tasty!

We thought this the perfect idea for a Friday!  It’s the end of the week, you’re wiped, but you still have enough energy to get together for some girl talk with your pals.  Here’s an idea to say thanks…

Who doesn’t love a cupcake after a long week of work, or watching the kids!  We stuck one of our wooden forks into a delectable cupcake and tied up our cupcake bag with some bakery twine.  We’re sure your friends will appreciate this sweet indulgence, and the good conversation.  Have a great weekend!

Garnish + Enjoy
