Celebrate With a Gift-Wrapping Tea!

You know the drill. Hiding in the back bedroom, frantically wrapping holiday gifts before the kids find you. If you can relate, here's a solution. Hold a gift wrapping tea! Fun, fellowship and a productive couple of hours. What more could you ask for?

To make this fun time really work, you will need to plan ahead, so your guests know to save their gift-wrapping until your party. Remember; no children are allowed so your guests can wrap in peace! To keep this celebration simple and useful, make sure everyone contributes to the success of the tea.

Guests or hostess may supply:

Any fancy add-ons they may want, such as Ribbon & Bows

A festive home--including, but not limited to, simmering potpourri, holiday music Christmas CD, Broadway Music, Hanukkah Party Music playing gently in the background, large comfortable floor space or several empty tables (be sure and protect tables and floors from scissors and tape with a pad).

Guest Towels - Basket and Pads
Monogram Toiletries -  Napkin Gift Set

Teacakes - Tea time is the perfect time to sit back and relax with a friend while you catch up on each others' busy lives. "Tea Temptations" tea comes in a variety pack of 24 tea bags. Each assortment includes four of these six flavors: Darjeeling, Chamomile with Almond (caffeine free), Jasmine Green Tea, Black Currant, Earl Grey Supreme, and Cinnamon Orange Spice Green Tea. The Empire Teas are wrapped in colorful foil to lock in flavor and freshness.

This plastic Drink Shaker is the perfect accessory for any tea party! Nine inch shaker has recipe for Long Island Iced Teas right on it! Just add lemon juice, shake it up, and have some fun!

Additional gift-wrapping supplies, such as scissors, cellophane tape, pens or markers, and gift tags.

Extend the gift-wrapping theme for easy decorating at your tea and on into the holiday season:

• Wrap your front door in Gift Wrap and hang a huge Gold 10" Metallic Bow instead of a wreath.
• 'Tie' the backs of chairs with large holiday bows.
• Use an elaborately wrapped Snowmen Paperboard Boxes  as a centerpieces.
• Gift Wrap a coffee table or end tables as matching 'gifts'.
• Use tiny packages or Silver 2.5" Bags as place cards at your holiday dinner party.
• Extend the fun outside with Ready Made Bows bows tied around your trees!
• Add tiny bows or Favor Ribbons to luxury bars of soap and display in the bath.

A way to give: A gift-wrapping tea also works well for community groups giving holiday gifts to places like homeless shelters and senior centers. Instead of giving the job of wrapping to one person, everyone can join in and have a good time. Your friends will thank you for the chance to relax with each other and get an important job done at the same time! Enjoy!
