Pretty Packaging for Gift Giving

It's that time of year again - the season of birthdays, baby showers, weddings, and housewarming parties. With all these excuses to join a fete, you won't want to arrive empty handed. Here is my suggestions for great gifting ideas for all occasions. Bonus: they all look STUNNING.

BIRTHDAY GIFT

Want to give your bestie the gift of a lifetime? This super feminine gift set comes from Teak and Twine and includes a birthday cake scented candle, a cake scented bath bomb with sprinkles, one gold celebratory shot glass, Essie nail polish, a bottle of Elderflower & Rose Lemonade, and shortbread cookies, all wrapped in their signature pale grey gift box with a custom silver embossed pale pink band. For $114 your friend may just decide to marry you instead of her boyfriend!

BABY SHOWER GIFT

Adorable, right? This cute gift set is from Loved and Found Box and although it's a bit on the pricey side (this set $88), it's totally worth it! It's gender neutral and designed with mom in mind. Included is a bunny swaddle, a white ceramic candle for relaxing, an organic wooden rattle, and Champagne baby bears for Mommy-to-Be, all wrapped up in a wooden slide top box, hand wrapped and ribbon-tied with seasonal floral accents.

WEDDING GIFT

Super sleek and oh so chic! This bar set is from Mark and Graham and is perfect for the newlyweds! $129 just for the monogrammed ice bucket, but you can expect those kind of prices just about anywhere for weddings. Other copper barware options are a two martini glasses, a cocktail mixer, and a serving tray. They arrive wrapped in their signature paper.

HOUSEWARMING GIFT

Ok, I'm going to have to go with a super cute DIY here from Magnolia Market. By making your own gift you can not only cut down on cost, but you have total control to customize the hell out of it! Use items the new homeowners would enjoy: wine, snacks, home improvement tools, plants, kitchen essentials, etc.
