I am SO EXCITED about this wedding gift because it looks like it cost A LOT more than it did. This was one time when it paid to wait till the last minute (i.e. the day before) to shop for a gift because Bath and Body Works was having HUGE sales on their stuff.....starting the day I went! Their sales coupled with my coupon made for a really nice gift. The girl for whom this was for is part of a family that has been more than giving to our family, and the last thing I'd want to appear is cheap in my gift to her. To be honest I didn't know what to get her (being that I waited till the last minute and her wedding registries were very picked over), but then I hit upon the idea of a basket of Bath and Body Works stuff and I'm so very happy I thought of it!
Here's what the basket includes:
This candle holder and candle
Ladies lotion and body wash
Two men's body wash items
A Wallflower plug-in -- I got one of these for Christmas last year and I love it!
Pure Vanilla Foaming Hand Soap
That's not all I got on sale-- the basket was 40% off at Michael's and I used a coupon on the Shredded pink paper.
The total value for this gift is $ 97.98
I paid a little over 1/3 of that price for the entire gift!
I love giving nice gifts to people and especially love it when I can make one up at a huge savings!
Here's the card I made to go along with the gift
I actually used a decorative folder for the front of this card instead of cardstock. It was just the pattern and colors I wanted and it worked out well.
Inside looks like this
I cut that huge rose off the back of the folder and glittered it up with transparent embossing powder.
Oh and one more thing --- the flower on the handle of the basket is another Flora Grande creation made using silver embossing powder, pink chalks, pink marker, and pink micro beads. (See I told you I was addicted to that stamp set!)
