christmas cheer + great christmas exchange – what i gave.
this holiday season i decided to join two christmas gift exchanges within my blogging communities and absolutely adored putting together these boxes and shipping them off to texas and wisconsin.
one was a $20 box and the other was a $10.

You gave such cute stuff. I love the white and gold polka dot tissue paper (?) and the pickle tradition. I've never heard of that tradition, but little ones would have so much fun with that! I hadn't heard about the Christmas cheer exchange this year, but it looks like so much fun. Maybe next year!
