gift idea {card repost}


REPOST:  Mail Tins

This is such a cute and easy gift for a child ages 3-7.
Em loves, loves, loves her tin.  I'd say it is her favorite thing ever.
She makes cards ALL DAY LONG.
(I'm actually debating making her a standing mailbox for Christmas this year too)

...So this would be my #1 recommendation for a holiday gift.

When we got home, we started to put together the gift for Em's secret santa exchange.
Her adoption travel group does an exchange every year.

I love this gift idea!
So easy and super cute.

First we bought a tin at Michael's. We filled the tin with pink and red notecards and envelopes, bling stickers, colored pencils, tape, stamps, ink, hole punches, and a candy necklace for fun. Everything a girl would need to make cards and play post-office.

We also put into the tin a little doll from Pottery Barn Kids.
Then place a sticker from Sophie and Lili on top of the tin.
Voila!

Em enjoyed making a card for her friend.
(And for me!)
