Stick some colorful small pom pom (available ready made at stationary shops & craft stores).

If you don’t have pom poms, use colored buttons or even small rounds cut from neon color papers.

Or just tie colorful wool around the gift.

  • Keep some stick-ons ready and handy  like bows, ribbons, pom poms, buttons, colorful tapes and other such stuff.
  • If you have nothing in hand, stick a photo of yours or the person you are giving it to and write a small note to give it a personalized touch.

  1. Hello! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
    Does operating a well-established blog like yours take
    a lot of work? I am completely new to running a blog however I
    do write in my journal every day. I’d like to start
    a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips
    for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

    1. Hey,

      Thanks for getting in touch with us.

      Blogging indeed needs attention, especially initial few months while you are still trying to fix it up. Once you have enough posts and done with final look and feel, it becomes less time consuming per day.

      If you are already in the writing mode, why not put in your blog?

      Take the plunge, give constant effort for initial few months and then are good!

      All the best.

      Happy blogging!
