gift tags

I will be honest, I never give much thought to the gift tag.  I usually do a simple paper punched tag and scribble the name on it as I am walking about the door.

BUT...

When I was brainstorming for my upcoming 101 Ways to Play with Safari Ltd Toys, a light bulb >LIGHT BULB< went off.

If you put a spot of hot glue on the belly of your little animal, and glue it to the tag, the tag will become something more special.  It will become a little gift in itself.  Now that I am rethinking gift tags, time to get busy to make up a bunch!

Have a fun and playful day!

If you have a toddler or kid under 5 in yours life, these are the perfect Easter basket books!  Well, they are great for year 'round, but especially great for Easter.  Cute illustrations, simple text, a few ducking shenanigans, and fun!  We read these ALL the time.

It's been a busy weekend.  I have made 14 new Fairy House Making Craft Kits in the shop (above).  These kits are individually, simply, beautifully packages in natural brown boxes and tied with baker's twine.  They would be perfect for that little Tinkerbell, for a fairy themed party, as a gift, or as a party favor.
