Gifting season cometh and what to do? Whether

Merry pairings
It’s the pairing together of different items that makes a statement
and adds character and weight to an inexpensive gift. Think about how
to package these for maximum effect:
Funky not junky
Flea market finds, antique stores, tag sales… these are all great
places to find offbeat, one-of-a-kind, fabulous gift ideas. The trick

- A china teacup and saucer with a book on the art of reading tea leaves
- A cookie jar or large Mason jar filled with cookie cutters and hand-printed
recipes
- A vintage hat filled, basket-like, with hair accessories
