Gifting Stationery Boxes/Hampers

It was my sister’s and cousin’s birthday before Christmas and last minute I decided to make them both stationery hamper/boxes. I was definitely in my element, I had so much fun gathering the boxes, the stationery and raiding my attic for making the gifts look all glam!

I have done lots of shopping for stationery the last few months so I didn’t need to go buy anymore for these gift stationery boxes.

The most important thing was to find nice boxes, I had this storage box I purchased from Home Bargains (the flowery box) and I found a red gift box in the attic which I used for my cousin.

(This is definitely something which could have been my first vlog!!!)

Initially I decided to leave everything in the original packets and put them in a basket, then decided that looked boring! I had these cellophane bags with different colour string and green heart confetti from my sister’s wedding that I decided to use to put the pens as putting the pens like that wouldn’t have looked nice!

I made six pen bags all the same and then had some gold tissue paper which I used to decorate the boxes with, I also found some pink crinkled tissue paper in the attic which I used to decorate the boxes with.
