So, I didn’t blog our Christmas neighbor gifts this year. I shared them on Facebook and Instagram, but you can’t pin from those. So, when a reader (hi Wendy!) kindly asked if I could put up something pinnable so she’d remember this idea next year, I was happy to do so.
I bought straws from IKEA. You could use cute paper stripey ones or those crazy twisty straws or whatever, really.
I separated the packs by color (because I liked how it looked better that way) and bagged them in self sealing cellophane bags. I got mine locally at Paper Plus but I’m sure they’re available all over.
And then I applied labels I designed in Silhouette Studio. You can for sure do this in PhotoShop or use PicMonkey or any scrapbooking program, but Silhouette Studio is what I know, so it’s what I went with. I printed the labels onto sheets of sticker paper and then cut them out and stuck them right on the bags.
Super easy, right?
So, if your neighbors enjoy a good Christmas pun, keep this in mind for next year. 
And, just FYI, printable sticker paper and everything but machines, gift cards, and download cards is 40% off over at Silhouette through the end of today (1/17). Use code “CRAP” to stock up. 40% off is the best deal you’ll see all year!
Fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
This is so funny and cute! I love it! I’m totally going to be buying these straws throughout the year!
That’s just cute! Love it!!
I was telling everyone about this idea–LOVE it!

I love this idea. It’s cute, useful AND hilarious!
I envy you & your Silhouette, though. In my mind, I really really really need one. Really.
Have a great weekend!
