If you're having a party or a special event, such as a birthday party or a wedding shower (or if you've been invited to one!), a great gift can come from your own two hands and make just as much of a statement. Fun and sweet little gift boxes tucked full with items such as seeds, beauty products, candles, and other small items can be easy and inexpensive to do. First, purchase the gift boxes -- they're a bit different than the usual gift bags and often come in a package of a dozen for under $5. You can find styles online at places like Container Store's website, or any offline craft store. Next, you'll want to create a personal touch. One way is to purchase a rubber stamp with a chic design or sentiment to mark the occassion. Today craft stores have tons of options including inks of all colors and types to make yours stylish. Then, you'll want to grab some colorful tissue paper or shredded fill, available at any card or party store. Design your boxes with the details you'd like, then put everything inside including the gift items and you're set to go! - Jeanne Blain
