Hey lovelies! It's only about a month until Christmas and I realise how much I see need to do. One of my jobs this Christmas is to make the bonbons (of Christmas cracker) for the table.
I really wanted to personalise each one instead of buying them. So here's a bit of inspiration.
Via The brides cafe
Via Tara Dennis
I made these ones a few years ago for my girls.
This is what I had put inside
♥ Little Bloom soaps
♥ Pastel gel pens
♥ Tiny handmade envelopes
This year, because I'm making them for the family I was going to try and personalise for each person. So the decorating will depend on who it's for. My ideas on what to put inside...
♥ Tiny jewellery
Via Bloom
♥ Little soaps
♥ Small brooches
♥ Tiny earrings (made by me)
Via BelleandPeace
♥ Special friendship bracelets
Via Kikki.K
♥ Tiny sticky notes
♥ Little button/badges
♥ Little hand carved stamps
♥ Lindor chocolate balls
♥ A hand written quote
♥ small pens
♥ Cute stickers
I'm sort of at a loss on what to put in a guys bon bon besides gourmet bits of chocolate. But these ideas are more for my girls and for pen pals etc.
Anyway, I've bought my bon bon snaps (that make that bang sound) and I'm deciding on paper and other bits to decorate with. I'm looking forward to making them :)
P.S. Remember to email me gracienne.nancy [at] gmail [dot] com if you would like to get a Christmas card from me!
great inspiration! I love everything :) especially the last one!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautiful ; ) so thoughtful! I just sent you an email sweet girl. Hope your having a great week ; ). Love, Kary xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love homemade Christmas crackers! It's been a few years since I've made them, but they always turn out so well. It's so nice to have each one personalized! Can't wait to see your creations this year...
ReplyDeletePS: Just emailed you!
Oh, that is SOOO COOL! It looks pretty on the outside and contains pretty things on the inside! :]
ReplyDeleteGracie, these are lovely ideas! I'm impressed that you're on top of it and it's not even November yet. :) I was very proud that I bought Christmas cards today (!!) but I haven't started writing any of them, haha!
ReplyDeleteHappy happy holidays, xoxoxo
Great gifts ideas for the bon bons. I never thought of making them. Good luck with them. Thanks for entering my giveaway as well.

ReplyDeleteoooo the star necklace....:):) These table gifts are such a cute idea, I love them!
ReplyDeleteI love making crackers, what a wonderful idea to personalise them all. I never seem to have the time to make things for christmas anymore - I think I'm going to have to make the time next year :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE your bon bons and all the little finds!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, and you have such great taste :)
Hope you're having an amazing week!!
Oo, your Christmas bonbons/crackers are gorgeous. I've never pulled a Christmas cracker in my life, oddly enough. I guess they're not popular here anymore. Which is sad, 'cause they're cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love all the tiny stuff - I'm a fan of tiny too, especially jewelry.
these are all so pretty and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYou are so crafty! Always finding the cutest ideas!
ReplyDeleteHey Gracie!

Have a nice day

I love everything in this post! So much adorable stuff!!
ReplyDeleteFor the boys maybe you could get those finger skate boards and bmx's? KMart and Mr Toys has them. Micro Machines are also popular with my brothers, haha.

I always make Christmas table presents for the family and the men are always the most difficult to buy for. Last year I put a little photo cube inside theirs.
ReplyDeleteWill love to see yours when they are made. I can't email you from holiday Gracie, it doesn't seem to work, but I will when I get home.

What fabulous gift ideas, Gracie! I totally understand your loss of what to do for the guys. I'm so bad at buying boy presents. If you come up with something, please let me know!!! Happy holiday preparation to you!
ReplyDeleteOhh everything is so pretty - I love all of the hearts and that heart necklace is so lovely! Is it too late for me to get a Christmas card? E-mailing you now! ;)
