Spread Sweet Holiday Cheer with Nielsen-Massey Vanillas #NMVHolidays
This holiday season, Nielsen-Massey Vanillas invites you to bring a personal touch back into the season by encouraging readers to create DIY holiday gifts for friends and loved ones. We at Nielsen-Massey believe that, when it comes to holiday gifting, it truly is the thought that counts, and what could be more thoughtful than a handmade gift?
Whether looking to let a teacher know how much she is appreciated, brighten the mail-carrier’s day, or surprise a coworker, DIY gifts are the perfect way to show how much you care.
We’d like to work with your blog to promote DIY holiday gifts by providing you with gifting tips, great recipe ideas, samples and giveaway opportunities. We also invite you to communicate with us via social media by using the hashtag #NMVHolidays in your posts. We are happy to interact with you by sharing, liking and re-tweeting top posts.
Following are some unique packaging tips to give handmade gifts an extra-special touch:
• Package homemade biscotti, cookies, or even body products in vintage tins or jars. A beautiful container is an additional gift that the recipient can keep long after the handmade gift is gone.
• Instead of using traditional wrapping paper or gift bags, wrap boxes in craft paper and decorate with pens and markers. Wrap jars and bottles in fabric, burlap, or a pretty kitchen towel and secure it with colorful striped baker’s twine.
• Attach a Christmas ornament to the outside of the package in lieu of a traditional gift tag. Ornaments can be treasured for years to come.
• Include a hand-written note or card with the recipe for your gift – it is the gift that keeps on giving!
