Just a quick post to share a cute little gift idea I came up with. We had our monthly Women of Worth meeting at church recently and I signed up to bring a door prize. It was kind of a last minute thing so I was scrounging a bit to come up with something. I wanted cute, cheap, and creative.
I bought a glass ice cream sundae dish at Goodwill for .69. I washed it up good and layered it with toppings. I already had these on hand so it fit right in with the "cheap" aspect I was going for.
I covered the top with plastic wrap to hold everything in and tied it with a ribbon along with a little tag I made for it. "Wishing you a relaxing Sundae!" A fun play on words.
I really wanted to tie a long ice cream sundae spoon to the outside of it, but I couldn't find one anywhere. I must've checked 4 different stores.
Oh well, I think it was still pretty cute, and it was quick, and you can't beat the .69 price tag.
P.S. I'm making more progress in the master bedroom. I finished up a little project last weekend, and another one yesterday afternoon that I plan to show you later in the week, so stay tuned!

What can I say . . . the first thing that attracted me to your delightful blog was your profile photo and your warm and beautiful smile. My husband notices peoples eyes, I can't tell you anything about anyone's eyes, but I can sure tell you if someone has a lovely smile or not. I love your gift idea, and if your don't mind I would love to copy it. Also the market scale you found for $5, WOW!!! great find. I am a retired wife, mother and grandmother that is enjoying every sweet day the good Lord blesses me with. I stay pretty busy with lots of projects and interests, furniture re-dos, sewing, gardening, paper crafts, painting, and music. One of my favorite things to do is play my guitar and sing in the local nursing homes, farmer's markets, and the county fair.

That's adorable, Steph! Going to pin it :) You could also add a giftcard for ice-cream from the local grocery store...I know that wouldn't make it as thrifty :)
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, I saw your unique gift idea and thought it was so clever that I wanted to invite you to share it at Your Cozy Home Party now until Thursday night. Anyone would be delighted to receive those goodies done in such a cute way. Hope you can come!----------- Shannon
