Family Thank You Gift Idea

August 30, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 9 Comments

I wanted something fun to give as a thank you to the families who watched my little one during the days I was out of town at girl’s camp. I thought it would be fun to give them a family thank you gift they could use together as a fun activity since many of the family members contributed to watching and playing with him.

I decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese’s and get a whole bunch of tokens that I could split up between the families. All the families have young kids that I thought would enjoy going to play for free. I think it ended up with like 15-20 tokens per child.

I took a few of the little cups they have at Chuck E. Cheese to hold the tokens and wrapped them up in treat bags with a card. Easy Peasy fun family thank you gift.

Last Minute Gift Wrap

July 29, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 6 Comments

I found a solution for a last minute gift wrapping debacle. I like to keep brown paper gift bags (you can get them 2 for a $1 at the dollar store) on hand. They can be easily personalized using ribbon, colored tissue paper (20 colored sheets for $1 at Dollar Tree) and/or scrapbook paper, all of which I always have on hand in multiple colors. I just grab coordinating colors for the occasion whether it be for a baby girl being born, thank you gift, or Grandpa’s birthday it is easy to wrap it up quick and cute!

Happy wrapping!

Belated Birthday Gift

June 23, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 7 Comments

Anyone else feel a little behind lately? Just because you might be late doesn’t mean you aren’t thoughtful. 😉 Here is a belated birthday gift I took to my YW adviser and friend. The card reads, “I’m so sorry I missed your birthday. I give you official permission to light this candle, blow it out, and make an extra birthday wish!”

I went with a vanilla candle since it seems to be a scent everyone likes, plus it is a neutral color that matches any decor.

Father’s Day Art Project and Gift Wrap Idea

June 18, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 5 Comments

My little one wanted to paint today, so I turned it into a Father’s Day Art Project. It turned out so cute that the art project then turned in to the gift wrap for our Father’s and Grandfather’s Day Presents.

I just drew the outline of a tie on a big sheet of white paper and let him have at it with the finger paint. We did one color and let it dry for a bit, then added a second color.


Once he was done I traced the outline with a Sharpie to make it stand out and cut the tie out. We wrote a little note on the one being sent in the mail and attached the other two to blue gift bags.

Happy Father’s Day!!
