Santa sacks

I changed my decades old tradition of present wrapping this past Christmas. I’ve always wrapped each family member’s gifts in their own unique and individual wrapping paper.

None of them knew, until Christmas morning, whose gifts were whose.

When the kids were little, this method kept them from counting to see who had more and from shaking gifts they would have otherwise known belonged to them.

This year, I still wrapped the gifts, I just didn’t worry about using a specific paper or tags. Instead,  I used personalized Christmas Sacks from Harrow & Green, a small company in London.

They offer several varieties of Christmas Sacks, my favorite being the “Burlington” sack.

I ordered sacks for not only Marissa, but also for Connor, Dave, and myself.

If you love the idea of personalized Christmas Sacks as much as I do, get on over to Harrow & Green and order some for your family.

That way, maybe they will stay in business and continue to create these adorable sacks long enough so that when I have a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and grandchildren – I can order sacks for them too!

I am working on my New Year’s Eve tablescape this morning. I’ll post it on Thursday.

I know, it’ll be too late for anyone else to use this year… but you’ll have all the details in plenty of time to start collecting and gathering for your own New Year’s Eve intimate dinner for six… next year.

Wishing you a fun and safe New Year’s Eve!
