My thought about gifts is that most of us don't really need more "stuff," but most of us do love receiving a little something special that has a sentimental or personal touch -- something that has meaning to us, whether it is about our faith, our family, or something unique about us.
Maybe you'll be visiting with family or friends (or maybe they will be visiting you!), and you'd like to sprinkle them with some gratitude or joy. Or maybe you need a wedding gift or a new baby gift. I'm sharing some ideas for you today.

Spring Ideas for Gifts and Your Home:
First, a quick handmade treat. It's just a "little something," but sometimes those are the sweetest gifts, aren't they? You could set one at each place setting as a little party favor. Or keep a little bowl of these by your door to treat visitors.
Here's how to make this little "candy basket" with just a few supplies and some Hershey's kisses:
I used a
large circle punch to create a tiny candy basket that will hold 3 Hershey's kisses. (My circle punch is scalloped, but it will work with a regular one too.)
First, I punched the circle from some cardstock and stamped a little "bless you" sentiment on one side (that could have just as easily been hand lettered.) I then scored a couple of lines about 3/4" apart in the center of it, and folded the sides up to create the "basket." I punched a couple of holes on each side at the top, added the chocolates inside, and tied it together with a small piece of ribbon. (Not an award winning bow, but you get the idea...) Make these with your kids or grandkids. It's the little things!
If you would rather shop for a few sweet items, here are some ideas I love:
This little
bunny dessert stand is perfect for cookies, cupcakes, fruit, or candy. Absolutely adorable.
