I have so many sweet friends, but I only buy Christmas gifts for a select few of them. Every year I try to come up with something simple but personal. This year I decided I could not go wrong with a coffee gift card — they ARE my closest friends after all, so of course they all love coffee! I smile when I think about the precious time I have had with each one of them sharing our hearts over a cup of coffee.
Another thing I know my close friends all love is chocolate. Coffee + chocolate + a fun gift tag, “homemade” by the help of a kit and my love for Metallic Sharpies = a fun & simple gift!
Sharpies have always been my favorite brand of marker– by far! I love that you can always expect them to work long and hard for you. They are dependable, predictable, come in all types of point sizes & colors. My new Sharpie crush is the Metallic Sharpies. Gold, Copper & Silver –they are so pretty!
Right now is a great time to purchase Sharpies. Staples is having an amazing deal. They are selling the 12 pack of Sharpies for only $6.00! I bought a 12 pack of black Sharpies and a 12 pack of multi-colored fine-point Sharpies both for $6.00, and a 4 pack of assorted metallic Sharpies for only $5.00.
I store mine in mason jars (of course!) and they sit out on our art desk so I can easily grab a single marker or a whole set if needed. My 10- year old Avery drew this amazing owl using the metallic Sharpies and some crayons. She is crushing on the metallic Sharpies, too!
On to my fun project. I stamped the tags with white ink, and envisioned how I could embellish them with metallic Sharpies just to make them a bit more special.
I used the metallic Sharpies to add a bit of shiny & shimmer to my gift tags. Just a touch here and there made a huge difference. I also used metallic Sharpies to to write who the gift was ‘to’ & ‘from.’
I got out my ribbon and some jute, stacked the coffee card and chocolates, and tied the shiny gift tags to the gifts.
I had fun finding different ways to tie the gifts together and using different Sharpie markers to embellish and sign the tags.
So festive and fun!
Don’t you love how the gold Sharpie shines? I wish the camera could capture it better. Take my word, it is PRETTY!
These little packages look so cute under my tree. I cannot wait to give them to the special ladies in my life. I hope it reminds them too, of our shared love of coffee and chocolate, and just how much they shine light into my life!
