It’s true, flowers instantly brighten anyone’s day.  Another thing that is true, is that we firmly believe that no-one should ever show up to a party empty handed ( my husband finds this humorous or slightly inconvenient ). But here’s how I see it; if someone welcomes you into their home, provides food, beverages and possibly some form of entertainment the least you can do is show up with a bite, a bottle of wine or something pretty like freshly cut flowers.

What is your go-to hostess gift? I’ve been grabbing market bouquets from Trader Joe’s more and more, because they are SO cheap. And when I say cheap, I mean it in an incredibly endearing way. But, the plastic wrapping isn’t the prettiest and sometimes tacky! With a simple crepe paper wrap and a pretty ribbon you can transform store bought flowers into the perfect gift! Follow the quick steps below to create your own crepe wrapped floral bouquet.
