Happy Spring!!!
Now that the long winter has ended and warmer weather is gracing our days, you notice yourself going out more, accepting more invitations to get-togethers and find yourself seated at some dinner parties so you might be needing some nice, easy Spring-like hostess gifts for these impromptu meets. Or maybe you made so many excuses to spend time outdoors you find yourself in dire need of a last minute birthday present that doesn’t scream “I forgot!”

A great solution? Read this wonderful Paper Source how-to on creating an easy centerpiece and personalize it so that it becomes a gift worthy creation that is perfect for your recipient! Whether you have a plain vase you can spare or have to use a milk carton – it won’t matter because you will be wrapping it in gorgeous paper, that reflects upon your recipient in some way – their favorite color, themed paper that is indicative of the occasion the gift is for, paper that coordinates with their decor, etc.
Pick the flowers (or plant!) in the same fashion. What will make them all warm and fuzzy inside? Their favorite flower? Something in season? Are you giving them a housewarming gift? Maybe an easy to care for plant is in order. A hostess gift? What flowers will go well in the dining room that you are bringing them to?
You even have the opportunity to make this more feminine or masculine (yes, men like flowers too!) depending on the colors and patterns you choose and the addition of or even the way you tie a bow.
Tip: For men, don’t tie a traditional bow, simply wrap the ribbon around and secure with double-sided tape or get a nice necktie and attach this as your “ribbon” instead!
This is a great way to personalize any plant or bouquet, whether you’ve spent a bunch or grew them yourself!
