DIY: House Warming Gift

 Happy Friday! 

Today we have another DIY project you. 

I am currently trying to build some go-to gift ideas for friends and family. 

I'm not talking Christmas of Birthday gifts. 

I'm talking about those little gifts that pop up 

throughout the year - Baby Shower, Bridal Shower,
Wedding, Graduation, Hostess gifts etc. 

These gifts I always want to be thoughtful, 

but I don't want to break the bank. 

Recently some friends of ours bought a new house, 

and I went looking for a housewarming gift. 

I turned to Pinterest for some inspiration and settled on a "Jar Gift." 

Here are some examples: 

Baby Jar Gift, Spa Jar Gift, 
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mix Jar Gift, Graduation Jar Gift

I decided to create my own Housewarming "jar gift." 

When creating a jar gift, it is important to choose a theme to guide you. 

It could be a color, and type of product, a hobby theme; 

anything you want really. 

But the bottom line is choose a theme to tie it all together. 

Since I was in need of a housewarming gift, 

I choose cleaning supplies as my product theme and lemon yellow as my color scheme. 

Here is what I came up with:

Housewarming Jar Gift

Shopping List:
(The following are ideas, 
but please feel free to choose 
your own products)

Right now, my go-to wedding gift is one of these 

AWESOME personalized gifts from Richwood Creations!!

it will be unique for your special Bride & Groom.
