I know this is an old post…but i was thinking if you were the type of person who would have the insight to stash ribbon, bags and other such implements in your glove box you not be the type of person who needs to stop and pick up a gift at a grocery store. You would probably have all sorts of last minute gifts and wrapping stored in a closet some place! I would need to buy the wrapping implements and scissors and tape and all of that stuff along with my gift on the way to the party.

Thank you for taking the time to comment!
I bought my priest a barley pancake mix and homemade syrup from the farmers’ market, and homemade perogies for the visiting priest – so not from your list.
But I did attend a party at a friend’s home, and she was utterly thrilled with the beribboned pineapple. Score!

I love that you have childhood memories of a Renault 4L. It’s such an iconic car here.

I never realised how treaty a pile of oversized chocolate bars looks, or a pineapple in a ribbon. Great ideas. I remember sliding around in the back seat of a Renault 4 as a child, and watching my mum change gears with that high-up gear stick and pulling back the windows, thanks so much for reminding me!

Oh, dear me, this is yet another reason why you are you and I am me.
But you are so charming and talented and seem so lovely that I am not even the slightest bit envious!
The music was darling and these are terrific ideas! (I am going to buy my priest a little gift this weekend, and this inspires me!) Thank you for your talented posts and always making my day a wee bit brighter. :)

Twine, really?

But I’ll overlook that one because this really is the cutest tip video I’ve seen in a while.

Hi Gabby!

Loved the video – you and Ben Blair are too cute in that car! Great ideas – When I pick up pineapples and oversized boxes of candy in the grocery store, I will absolutely think of you – thanks for the festive ideas! Depending on the grocery store, I have purchased a nice artisan bread and a gourmet jam to accompany it as a hostess gift before and it’s been a huge hit. I couldn’t agree more about avoiding the ‘holiday-ish’ items as they feel dated once January comes. Best wishes to you and your family for a lovely Christmas and joyous and healthy 2013! Thanks for all you do to bring such a wonderful community of people together!

I feel the same way about boxes of movie candy — oversize boxes of Junior Mints and Hot Tamales. Just seem like such a treat!
