Or are you winding up? In any case, here\u2019s a great gift idea for teachers &#8211; or colleagues and friends &#8211; when you need a Christmas gift <em>before<\/em> Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.stampinup.com\/ECWeb\/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=139602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oh What Fun Tag Project Kit <\/a>from Stampin\u2019 Up! comes with supplies to make 30 gift tags \u2013 three of each design. I\u2019ve been making them in lots of ten and boxing them up ready for my daughter\u2019s kindy teachers. \u00a0Everyone loves a little handmade something right? (Bonus \u2013 no extra calories!) And what a cool way to make them think of us when they\u2019re busy wrapping gifts and extending Christmas cheer to their own family and friends.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1754\" src=\"http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pic2.jpg\" alt=\"Oh What Fun Christmas Tags\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pic2.jpg 800w, http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pic2-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pic2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>With the vellum paper on the front, I\u2019ve designed the packaging to become a luminaire so the teachers have something left just for them when they\u2019ve used all the tags. Include a faux tealight candle and it\u2019s a simple affair. What\u2019s more, the 4&#215;4\u201d box is really quick and easy to make using our Stampin\u2019 Up!
