I am excited to be here on Positively Splendid! Amy is a doll and I am so happy to visit while she is enjoying her sweet bundle!
Hi, I’m Michelle from…
I used the tissue box idea and added an array of health related items:
Wet wipes
Throat drops
Hand Sanitizer
Emergen-C packets
Chapstick
Added some snowflake filler aka pieces of silk flowers that look like snowflakes.
Then, I made some matching tags using wrapping paper, thin white cardboard, glue and glitter paint.
Cut out a snowflake. Glue it to the cardboard. Cover the white areas with glitter glue using the Martha Stewart fine tip top that screws right on to the paint bottle. Let the glue dry.
Cut the snowflakes out and write “We tissue a Merry Christmas…” and “and a healthy New Year!” on the back.
I love how it turned out and everything cost me under $10! Everything but the glitter paint, glue and cardboard was from Target. Easy as pie!

I LOVE Emergen-C!! We call it “pop juice” around here and my boys think it’s a treat! 😉 This really is a phenomenal gift- thanks for a clever, cute idea Michelle!

Is the box of supplies a reused tissue box?
Michelle says
Pip-
The supplies are in a bucket from the Target Dollar Section, but it could easily be a re-used tissue box. The oval package with the ribbon are the tissues.
Michelle says
Thanks for letting me be part of such a fun series Amy!
