Personalized Tote

When C and I first started planning our wedding, we decided to be traditional and have a wedding party. So right away we started buying gifts for our WP (We love giving gifts!) Soon after we purchased all the gifts, we changed the date and we decided to not have a wedding party. So what to do with the gifts?? Christmas will be here before we know it!

For the flower girls and junior bridemaid I had purchased a pack of totes from Michael's and used iron-on gems to put their names on a tote. And to make each a little more personal I adding patches/gems with an activity they like.



In each bag we put candy, lip glosses, bubble bath, glow-sticks, etc. I purchased a lot of the bag fillers from the dollar section in Michael's! I think this is a great way to give a personalized gift, and relatively inexpensive. Overall I spent about $15 per bag and it took less than an hour of my time. Plus, when they are done using everything inside the bag, they still have their own personalized tote!!
