New Year's Party in a Box.


Last week as Christmas drew closer I had to let some things go. One of those things was delivering treats to a few friends. I figured I could come up with something fun for the New Year which would give me time to stop stressing and really enjoy the Christmas holiday.


This week as I was brainstorming ideas I remembered seeing these cute miniature glass bottles of sparkling cider at the Grocery Distributor the last time I was there. I made a special trip and low and behold, they still had some in stock. 12 mini bottles for $12.


I found 30 paper party blowers for $5 at Target in their "New Year's Party" section. A little dash of handmade confetti and I had a New Year's Party in a Box.




The kraft boxes are from Xpedx and were from my stash.

I created the labels with our name on them but made a more generic version to share with you all. Just in case you had to let some things go last week too.

You can download the label here.

The thing I love the most about this idea is that you could use this same concept for an anniversary gift, wedding party favors, housewarming, etc. A quick label change and the possibilities are endless.

  14. Thanks for all the nice comments, friends!

    Molly, I use full sheets of label paper for this type of printable. You can find them at any office supply store in the label aisle. I've even snagged them at Wal-Mart in the past. Hope it helps!

  16. So cute! I let Christmas cards go this year. I just knew we couldn't pull anything together. So we'll do New Years cards instead. Although we haven't exactly started working on them yet, so who knows!
