Great ways to dress up your PC gifts

As I'm giving away great gifts from PaperConcierge this year, I'm finding all kinds of ways to repurpose and wrap up things that are combined with a PC item. Here are some ideas for you.

Use a Whitney English Trend-E-Tote as a gift bag. The bag is part of the gift


Use a Whitney English Recipe Tin as a container for homemade fudge or candy. Or send your Recipe Tin as a gift with your favorite cookie, and remember to include the recipe too.



Fill a Dabney Lee Ice Bucket with drink accessories or a bottle of wine, then wrap in a cellophane bag as a colorful gift basket.




These Hicks Paper Goods Favor Boxes can be used for numerous different things during the holidays - gift basket with cellphane and tissue, table decor, or grow some paper whites as shown below.



Give a personalized Lucite Plate with a batch of cookies.

Whitney English recipe tins & cards

I'm very excited to share a new collection from the fabulous Whitney English Company. PaperConcierge now has the WEC recipe tins and coordinating cards! Just in time for the holidays, these will make great hostess gifts, holiday gift exchange, and stocking stuffers. And they're at an unbeatable price point too! Only $12.95 for a recipe tin, recipe dividers and set of coordinating cards!! Shop the entire collection HERE.

Gifts for Friends (under $30)

Just a few of my personal favorites under $30. There are so many different styles to pick from and much much more on the website - http://www.kburch.paperconcierge.com/

And after I created this flyer, we added 2 new really cool items - Recipe Tins and Trend-E-Totes! Both by Whitney English. Check them out in the under $20 section.

Green with Envy

I love it when items in a retail store have coordinating sets. Each piece having a friend with a common style! My eye is very drawn to this green lattice collection at PaperConcierge. Wouldn't these items look so great all together on a desk? Or the home items dressing up your table - melamine plates, placemates and coasters. Take your pick! They're all fantastic.

Anniversary ideas (1 - 10)

Our 4 year anniversary is right around the corner! None of our anniversaries have followed the traditional route, but its fun thinking of ways to tie it in. So here are some of my ideas for traditional anniversary gifts through the first 10 years.

1 - Paper: artwork, hand written love letter or card, favorite book, photo memory album, gift certificate, tickets
2 - Cotton: clothing, blanket, lingerie & PJ's
3 - Leather: fashion accessories, leather photo frame with wedding photo, leather desk chair, autographed football, tool belt, desk top sets, designer shoes
4 - Fruit or Flowers: fresh flowers, an orchid (my favorite), flowering fruit tree, floral perfume, bake a fruit pie, chocolate covered strawberries
5 - Wood: furniture, jewelry box or valet, wood picture frame, carved artwork, plant a tree together
6 - Candy: chocolates, sweets gift basket, have a date at a candy store
7 - Wool or Copper: copper jewelry, copper cookware, copper sculpture, wool clothing, wool hat & scarf, wool blanket
8 - Bronze: sculpture, flower pot
9 - Pottery: vase, flower pot, sculpture, dinnerware, have a date in a pottery painting studio
10 - Tin: diamond earrings in a tin box!, pewter personalized keepsakes, home decor

This is our 1st Anniversary, eating my year old wedding cake! Our gift was to exchange cards (PAPER!) and we stayed at a B&B in Asheville for the weekend, which was really nice.
