These macarons are from Macaronz. The macarons were hand painted with whimsical designs for Easter and packaged in our single macaron favor boxes. Simply embellish these boxes with ribbons and gift tags if you want to use these as party favors.

Modern Wilderness Baby Shower: Let's Wrap It Up

Tuesday, 15 August 2017

Welcome back to our styled baby shower. If you missed the first two posts, you can get all of the details about our sweet table here and party details here. Today we are going to share some inspiration about the baby gifts.

The baby shower was based on the idea that guests would bring gifts to help the Mama-to-be decorate a modern wilderness theme nursery. Many of  the gifts were wrapped up but we also took advantage of using some of the gift items as party decor. A win-win for everyone and a great way to keep the party budget under control. 

The black and white striped tent will make a great play space when baby is older and for the party it was the idea place to tell guests to leave their gifts.

Find it here: tent, paper lanterns, balloons

Wrapping gifts is a breeze when you add bands of wrapping paper and  beautiful ribbons on gift boxes. The gift boxes can be used after the party to store keepsakes and photos.

Use smaller gift items like silcone teethers and handmade items like this sweet panda bear to your gifts as gift toppers.

Here's some detailed shots of some of the other sweet items that were used as gifts and party decor ...

Party Inspiration: Modern Wilderness Baby Shower. Let's Party.

Friday, 4 August 2017

Welcome back to our styled baby shower. If you missed the first post, you can get all of the details about our sweet table here. Today we are going to share a few more of the party details.


Make it easy for the Mama-to-be to send out thank you cards by inviting guests to pre-address the envelopes at the party. Turn the activity into a game by asking everyone to fill out cards with predictions about the baby's birth information. Hand lettered messages were added to both a chalkboard and an acrylic card box so guests would know what to do.

A party is not a party without favours. Custom cookies were added to these heart muslin bags and placed on display inside of a long box. As guests pulled out the fabric favour bags a pink ombre detail was revealed. You can find a DIY tutorial for adding food colouring to fabric bags here.

Flowers and succulents were beautifully arranged inside our LOVE ceramic dish set and created a colourful focal point on this table set up. Make your own table runners by trimming the edges of wrapping paper using decorative scissors or paper edge punches.

Our baby love balloons are a sweet party detail if you know what the baby is going to be. The balloons come with either pink or blue confetti and the confetti is revealed when the balloon is popped. Let guests know what is going to happen before the Mama-to-be pops the balloon so they can get their cameras ready!

Bartender in a bottle gift ideas featured in Food & Drink

Friday, 18 December 2015


We are exactly one week away from Christmas day and everyone I talk to seems to be in the final stages of getting ready to entertain family and friends for the holidays. Today I thought that I'd share with you some of the amazing ideas for holiday entertaining by the oh so talented gift stylist Corinna vanGerwen in the lastest issue of Food & Drink magazine.

The LCBO's Food & Drink magazines always fly off the shelves quickly and it's not always easy to get a copy. You can always read it online here!

We adored all of the diy ideas featured in the Bartender in a Bottle editorial feature. 

The packing details on these pre-made drinks (above) are fabulous and simple. Corinna recommended using candy canes or paper straws to recreate this project yourself.

We also loved these mixed juices packaged in mason jars. Use them for a takeaway gift or to use at the party. Add a gift bow or pom-pom to the mason jar to make them look a little more festive!

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year and a lot of our customers have talked to us about their holiday entertaining plans. If you are hosting a Halloween party and still looking for some over the top entertaining ideas you're going to love the newest edition of SheEntertains by Elle Daftarian. You can view the online magazine here.

Featured in the magazine is a diy watercolour tutorial using our cotton tote and drawstring bags. I created these for Elle to use at a kid's Halloween party for favor bags.

Although these projects were designed for a Halloween party, I think that they could be created for anytime of year because hey, who doesn't love watercolour art and candy?!
