Presenting a hostess gift

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a dinner party by two of my clients. They had "won" a private dinner for six prepared by a celebrity chef at a charity auction supporting their children's school. The dinner was hosted by one of the couples but I really wanted to give them each a nice hostess gift because I was so touched that they would include my husband and I in such a special evening.


 Do you struggle like I do sometimes finding just the right gift for someone? 


I thought it was hard to find something that both couples would enjoy, not too much but just enough to show my appreciation. Until I saw these wine stoppers. I thought they would be just lovely for the holidays coming up.


I grabbed some wrapping paper that I keep on hand and some ribbon from my ribbon drawer and added a couple of inexpensive ornaments I picked up recently from Crate and Barrel. I love to tie ornaments on packages around the holidays and when I see ones that I like, I pick them up to have around when I need them. They are great to add a little extra glitter to a package or even a simple bottle of wine.



My favorite part were the tags that I downloaded from here.

I was so hoping you would have a blog writing today. I love the way you wrap presents; such eloquence. Even a box of tea becomes an exquisite gift when wrapped like you do. Thanks for the inspiration.

We started our son and daughter in law on a collection of wine stoppers...makes gift giving abit easier. But your wrapping is exquisite...how do I get on your guest list?
