Good Morning. Today on the blog I am joining Annie and Mary Ann for our Sunday favorites. Steve and I are going to shop some of our local favorite shops today since our house is being shown again. But first I wanted to pop in and share my Sunday Five-Gift Wrap, Gift Ideas, Toffee and More.
I don’t know about you but I need to do a little more shopping and get some presents wrapped as well. Here are some ideas for both
GIFT WRAP IDEAS FROM THIS YEAR AND YEARS PAST
Here is a link to download my gift tags without names. You will have to write in your own names. Enlist someone with pretty handwriting. I ran them off on paper bag kraft cardstock and off white cardstock.

I used the same gift tags and fashioned them into place cards for my Christmas table.

SUNSET MAGAZINES CHOCOLATE SALTED PECAN TOFFEE
I am not much of a sweet lover, but toffee gets me every time. This is the best toffee I have ever had. My son and daughter in law had us over for an amazing early birthday celebration dinner and she made this. Lauren substituted almonds for the pecans. So glad she did not send it home with me!! You can get the recipe here

BIG SHOUTOUT TO SHARI FROM LITTLE BLUE DEER FOR UPDATING MY BLOG DESIGN
Shari from Little Blue Deer has been helping me with the design of my blog for years. I highly recommend her. She has done a complete redesign for me twice. I have been blogging since 2011 (yikes!). She recently did a major tweek for me as there are some changes coming down the pike for me professionally and personally. More on that later. At any rate if you need website or blog design help, Shari is your girl. You can check her out here
I hope you enjoyed Sunday Five-Gift Wrap, Gift Ideas, Toffee and More. There was a lot of information here. I hope I didn’t cause Christmas overload! Now pop over and visit for more fun!

Oh my gosh Cindy thank you so so much! I always appreciate your support and it is always such a pleasure to work with you! So happy always to help out you and any of your friends! Stay safe and sane, sweet California ladies, our hearts are truly with you in this!
Shari is the best! Love her work and your blog update. I need to make Lauren’s toffee ASAP as in before January!
GREAT gift wrapping tips!
Another fun read😁 Informative, creative and festive. As soon as I sign off here I am heading over to Amazon to purchase those brown bags! Genius.. love the look and I can add any colors to them for ANY occasion! You never disappoint ❤️

The Sunset link for pecan toffee is good to go but your blog pic is definitely ALMOND toffee (which I prefer and make every year)!!
Thank you for those downloadable gift tags, Cindy. They will add the perfect touch to our gifts this year. Merry Christmas!
The little blue deer link doesn’t work and I’m looking for some help in this area.
I love the gift tags you’ve created. I printed the dear last year (or was the year before?) and am using them this year. I’ve now downloaded the dogs and the simple tags with the pears. All are gorgeous.
The packages look great and I appreciate the gift guides and sale notes.
xo,

I’m a sucker for anything polka dot, so I love your wrapping ideas! The very best ready made toffee I’ve ever eaten is here in Palm Springs – Brandini Toffee. Just bought some for gifting and a little for me, of course. It’s so delicious, and it helps to support a local business during these difficult times❤️
Your gift wrapping is so gorgeous that I think I wouldn’t want to open the package. You share such lovely ideas Cindy.
I am a chocoholic but don’t like toffee much. My husband, on the other hand, loves it. As does my dad. So I may have to save your recipe for homemade birthday gifts for them.
