Summer party season is officially here! Between all of the pool parties, backyard gatherings, and Bachelorette watching parties (oh yeah – we turn my favorite 2 hours of every Monday into a weekly dinner party), I am always looking for different hostess gifts to bring with me (or give to my guests), and maybe even more importantly, new ways to wrap and present them!
Candles and wine bottles are often overdone, but one gift that that is always appreciated is one that is homemade. Plus for the giver, it’s usually easy to throw together last minute and can accommodate any budget!
My personal favorite and go-to homemade gift comes in the form of a mason jar with a customized gift tag.
We all have a million mason jars laying around (and if you don’t, you can get a dozen at your local grocery store for under $15 or here) and you can easily fill it with your favorite homemade salsa for a fiesta party, homemade cookie or pie ingredients for an interactive baking extravaganza later on, or even with something as easy as Swedish Fish for a cute kids pool party! It can be as simple or elaborate as you want, but what matters most is how you wrap and display it!
We all know presentation is key to making a simple gift look like you’ve been thinking about it for weeks or even just to add a customized flair to it! So to help us all out, my friend Steph at JOY Creative Shop, has created the most adorable gift tags that are perfect to add to all your homemade gifts!
Steph customized these adorable tags that say “Made with love from our kitchen to yours – the Haafs” which is now gracing the homes of so many of my friends! It immediately gives our little token a custom and personal feel that always excites the recipient!
I’ve recently paired these tags with mason jars containing ingredients for my favorite cookie recipe, a delicious cheesecake in a jar, and even homemade ice cream! This simple gift immediately looks way more elaborate with the addition of a bow and this cute tag.
Steph also has a full shop of more gift tags that can easily be customized to your event or season, so be sure to hop on over to her shop to see how you can add an extra little pop to your next hostess gift or party favor!
