Talk about a cheap and easy Christmas gift! I bought the tin bucket (with pom pom trim), lotion, body butter, lip gloss, and bath fizz at the Target $1 spot for a grand total of $5 bucks!
I used patterned paper to cover the bucket - I did 2 pieces of paper that wrap over each other between each handle so it's less noticable. The trim came hot glued to the bucket, so I just ripped it off and re-glued over the paper. Covered each bath item with paper (distressed the edges with my fingernail). I used a clear envelope (I cut off the top where it closed) to hold the bath fizzy and added a paper topper. Embellished all the items with stamped snowflakes, cardstock tags, ribbon, and a few rub-ons. Once I decided on the paper, it went really quickly!

Awesomely fantastic gift and I adore the papers that you used. Those bright snowflakes are fantastic. I think I need to wall paper my office with that print! Yes, I looooove snowflakes.
