holiday gift guide: handmade gifts by Jeanee Duval 12.06.2011

>

We are so happy to bring Jeanee Duval of Dirty Laundry to you for day three of our gift guides. Jeanee writes a super-inspiring blog and is a gifted craft maven with her own shop so we knew she was the one to ask for her take on handmade gifts for the holidays. She has officially made buying handmade easy! {Links: 1. Hazelnut Chocolate Whisky Sandwich Cookies, 2. Golden Grass Wide Bangle, 3. Midnight Black Doily, 4. Cinnamon Sugar Cupcake Bath Fizzie ( these adorable bath fizzies and many other flavors are from Jeanee’s own Dirty Laundry Etsy shop & we can personally attest that they all smell amazing), 5. Bamboo Heart Stud Earrings 6. Tonic 02: Tahitian Vanilla Bean & Egyptian Chamomile Blossom Matured Maple Syrup 7. XL Organic Reusable Vegetable Bag in Paisley}

pretty package: anthropologie holiday 11.15.2011

>

Apologies right off the bat for the crummy editing job here; there was just too much good stuff that was hard to omit. I am so excited to see Anthropologie’s gift wrap for the holidays! Every year I promise myself that I will get my shopping done reasonably early to leave myself time to enjoy wrapping my gifts. Instead, I always find myself stuffing them in gift bags on Christmas Eve. This is especially ridiculous because Morgan and I both designed gift wrap for almost 10 years and genuinely love wrapping gifts and making them pretty. These gorgeous wraps and fun trims might be enough to make me actually stick to my yearly promise for once. (Please, check out the stitched wrap and notebook paper stitched tags! Oh, and the jute wrap and vintage stamps….?!?! Seriously…!) Happy wrapping.

now, we’re sure we’ve made it pretty clear that we are obsessed with color, so this may come as a  wee bit of a surprise, but we’re just loving the fresh feel of this black line work on tan backgrounds! So simple, understated and classic!

Isn’t this packaging for the French Skincare line, Absolution, totally amazing? We fell in love with the black and white patterns immediately! After further research,  come to find out it’s also total eco-friendly: the packaging is all made from recycled materials and printed with soy-based inks! Tres Chic!
