Attention last minute gifters.....here's the second part of yesterday's Swoot Tip and a supportive way to reduce the amount of waste generated this holiday. I gathered up some super cool latte mugs this summer. I confess, I did think about keeping a couple for myself.....and decided that I have plenty of mugs to suit our needs. As a result of having fewer dishes there's less to clean and my children have now followed my lead in the idea of multipurpose dishes. For example, tea cups are perfect for a little scoop of ice cream, coffee mugs work brilliantly for soups and cereal containers and water does taste better out of mason jars!
That's not what this post is about though. I wanted to share this fancy and fast gift idea. This would make a great hostess gift as well so consider this for New Year's Celebrations, birthdays, or just to be a thoughtful friend.
I placed three different kinds of teas in the bowl, added a fancy little tissue pack and tied up with ribbon. The cup is the package so the only throw-away are the tea bags and tissues. (To amend the waste factor, fetch loose tea and put in into a delightful jelly jar and/or give cloth hankies instead.)A jar of flavored honey or even home crafted soup mix could be added in lieu of tea. And what of the ribbon? It could be used for a future gift, tied into smaller ribbons on a wreath, used as a book mark, added to art journals or card making projects.
And the best gift of all is really YOU! Your love, presence, support, and joy! Thanks for you sharing yours with me, thanks for taking the time to read the Swoot Blog! Merry Christmast
