Last Minute Christmas Gifts

Always have a couple extra Christmas gifts on hand - just in case. My all time favorite is the popcorn basket. I’ve wrapped this one up many times, but this year’s presentation tops all. Found the plastic tub and matching cups at Canadian Tire - perfect size for a box of microwave popcorn, Cracker Jacks, peanuts, chocolate (lots of chocolate) and two Coke in a glass bottle. The Coke has to be in a glass bottle - pop in a can just doesn’t compare - truly! Also included is a gift certificate from the local video store for rental on a couple movies.

Treats for everyone

The gift certificate is tucked into a gift card holder embellished with a paper piecing from www.paperandpiecings.com. This particular pattern is one of our own and is available for purchase and immediate download for only $ 2.00. All our patterns are available in pdf, svg, and scut files. Be sure to check out the site and subscribe for our occasional newsletter and freebie.

Movie Gift Certificate Holder

I test cut all my patterns using SCAL software but for personal projects I usually hand cut all the  pieces as I find it quite relaxing. In a hurry tonight, however, and used an svg file with SCAL and the Cricut. Perfect! Takes just seconds to cut!

The finished gift: Attractive, inexpensive and suitable for just about anyone!
