Tea Bag Gift Box

Don’t you just love
cute little boxes that turn something ‘everyday’ into a real treat
for someone?

This is the basis for
the gift sets I am putting together for a friend of mine. She and a
few friends exchange ‘bits of nonsense’ each Christmas and she is
running out of ideas so asked if I could help by putting lots of
little bits together in a larger Gift Box. So the challenge was
issued and the gauntlet thrown down and this is the second item I
have put together for her.

I really like Fruit
Teas, well some of them, but they have to be a definite flavour and
steeped for a very long time, preferably in an insulated mug with the
bag left in until the last sip. So I thought it would be fun to box
up a few of these using paper that matches the wrapper of the bag.
The first one I made was to go with Taylors ‘Sweet Rhubarb’, so an
almost exact match to Sweet Sugarplum, and the second was ‘Spiced
Apple’. I did cheat slightly with this as the nearest match was
probably Cajun Craze, but I wanted to use Christmas Designer Series
Paper, so went with Cherry Cobbler instead; I think it works, but
what do you think?

I hope you enjoy the
video that goes with this.

Remember that the
Online Extravaganza is running until Monday, 28th
November, so don’t miss out on all the great deals, including some
items up to 40% off. There are even some Christmas items discounted.
So pop on over to my shop now and fill that bag with Lots of Lovely
Things!
