Present Toppers

Earlier in the week my husband and I had a pleasant couple of hours deciding and then making the present toppers for our gifts this year.  As a lot of the gifts are wooden we decided on a wooden theme.  My husband cut out stocking and trees:

We painted some smaller stockings and added a bow and some natural twine to attach to the parcel.


2 in 1 as they become a nice tree decoration once taken off the gift.
 
I also spent a couple of hours making a selection of bows to top the gifts.


I loved the bright rich colours of the harlequin ribbon perfect for the children and the luxury of the green and gold velveteen makes it perfect for topping a gift.
 
The gifts are all ready, the toppers are all ready all I now need is the cellophane and the wrapping paper.  I need to do some shopping...
 
Finally this is what I got up to this morning, a beautiful rainbow.  I wonder if there is a pot of gold at the end, I may need it if I go shopping.
A very warm welcome to my new followers and many thanks for all of your comments, they  really are appreciated and enjoyed.
 
Have a great weekend and see you soon.

    1. I am not usually this organized, due to the wedding I have been super efficient this year so yes I have most of the gifts sorted with the exception of some biscuits and mince pies that I like to make for family.
