Yesterday was my birthday so; I figured what a more perfect time to discuss gift giving. I have picked up a new, fun, money-saving hobby...COUPONING! In the process I have met some fabulous and very generous people. A new couponing buddy that I met at the drug store check-out counter gave me one of the most creatively awesome Mother's Day gifts that I have ever received this past May. It was a "Beauty Bouquet" made of a thrift store flower vase layered with artificial grass used during Easter time in the bottom and stuffed with nail polish, lip gloss, eye and brow liner, and eye shadow (all items that we snag for .25¢ or free by stacking store sales with manufacturer coupons) and topped off with bright silk flowers! This abundant bouquet was wrapped with a bow and I was in love.
I have found some other awesome Beauty Giving ideas in my daily passings. Check out this photo in an advertisement. Place those products in a translucent mesh baggie inside one of those graphic martini glasses and you have got yourself a birthday present any girl would love to have.
For my little sister's bridal shower last year I created a Beauty Bar as a party favor to each guest. They were able to choose several items from an assortment of nail files, nail clippers, nail polish, lip gloss, lip sticks, hair combs, etc. and stuff them in cute little gift bags to take home. Any occasion can be a beautiful gift giving opportunity.
Give On...Meek
