A thankyou gift- in xmas colours

This was made as a small token of thanks for a friend, it was simple enough to do, i simply took an oval shaped basket with a handle on and filled it with green tissue paper shred, then added a bottle of bubbly, two wine glasses, some after eight mints in red tissue parcels and then i added ferrero roche inside the two glasses to add a splash of gold.
I added two candy canes to the neck of the bottle just to spruce it up, then covered the whole basket in cellophane and finished it with a big bow.

Dress up your sweets

Its always nice to get sweets and chocolates as gifts, but they are so much more appealing if it looks like something you have never recieved before.
You can achieve this very simply and in many ways, here are a few examples ...

Use pretty sweety bags or organza bags and finnish off with a bow, or you could remove the sweets/chocolates from the packaging and wrap them in tissue parcels ect.
Another favourite is to use glass jars and dress them up with a pretty label and a cloth lid.
