Gift Giving on a Tiny Budget

I have a love affair with glass containers.

They remind me of my grandmother.

I stock up on these containers every time I am at Goodwill.

There are so many things you can do with them.

So, why are we looking at a bunch of empty glass containers?

I am on a mission.

I love giving little gifts to cheer someone up.

Usually I make a bracelet or some sort of jewelry and awkwardly hand it over.

No presentation, no warm and loving speech about how I was thinking of you blah, blah, blah.

My goal is to do a little better than that in the future without breaking the budget.

What I am trying to say is...

It's gotta be cheap.

It's gotta be cute.

It's gotta be fun.

Today, is my first attempt.

The theme is...PoPcOrN!

My mom and I went wandering last week and went to Valley Popcorn.

We had a blast.

I learned a lot about popcorn and I loaded up.

:-)

With my fresh supply of popcorn treats, I am putting a gift together for my friend, Tina.
Tina needs a little cheering up and she LOVES popcorn.

I love the look of these popcorn containers.

I am using two colors of popcorn for fun.

Now for a cute little gift tag.
I am cutting up this popcorn box that I had leftover from a previous party.
I will eventually get 4 tags out of this box if I need them.

Viola!
