Gift wrapping can get so boring, and I get super jealous of people who wrap gifts all tastefully and creatively. So here are 2 ideas from the internetz about some easy and fun ways to step it up from a gift tag perspective.

1. You can print out these free gift tags from Angry Chicken, there are a bunch of designs.

2. You can get creative with a stamp pad and your thumb for these cute owl tags I saw on Design*Sponge.

Cute, and FREE if you already own cardstock or pilfer a few sheets from the office! (I said a few sheets. I’m not advocating widespread office supply fraud. Put down that ream of paper and all of those staplers. You don’t even need that many staplers anyway.)

It seems I’ve been serially bookmarking a whole bunch of odd and unusual DIY lighting ideas so I thought it was time to clean it out and share a few with you.

STUNNING- the trick would be keeping them inflated for more than a couple hours.

Crack open a globe and voila. I like this idea!

ingredients: 14 1-gallon milk bottles, 1 hula hoop, 1 string Xmas lights.

The Slinky Light from Bouf
You can buy it for £45, but why would you when you could make one?

Chiquita Chandelier by Anneke Jakobs
Made with old banana boxes. She must have great potassium levels. Apparently there’s a how-to manual available at her website but I couldn’t find it.
