I like to give gifts but I am conscious nowadays of how much I spend as it can be easy to get carried away. It was my friends birthday recently and I had been buying and accumulating things to give as a little box of goodies that she likes. My friend likes nice products but they are out of my price range so when I saw some Champneys reduced at Sainsburys I snapped them up. I bought a hand wash and shower gel for £2 each which should have been £5 each. I also bought a small bottle of vino for £1 and they all fitted nicely inside a little box I had. The box was actually a Body Shop gift box that I was given last Christmas with their products in, which was too nice to throw away. I then wrapped it up with a nice bow and put it in a gift bag, again what I had received previously. I was pleased with my little gift.I think it looks a little different and is more personal, what do you think ?
It looks lovely...lucky friend.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous gift!!! Love Natxx
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely & she will love it. I love wrapping gifts up & making them look all lovely. Even better when it is recycled packaging xx
ReplyDeleteThanks. Those Body Shop boxes are lovely to keep , nicely decorated with beads and shiny ribbons. Afterwards they are good to store trinkets in. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks lovely,I would very much appreciate a gift as lovely as this,well done.xxx
ReplyDeleteWell done.
ReplyDeleteI also like to give gifts but no longer at the expense of my retirement :-)
So my budget is now $10 or less and I want to buy local or preloved to keep it eco. I keep my eye out in op shops for the best deal for my buck and local market stalls for locally made goodies.
It looks lovely and I'm sure she will love to receive it. I always save nice boxes from gifts I receive and also save gift bags to reuse.
