2. Purchase envelopes to fit, or make your own by using the "Make Envelopes" link, under Related eHows.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also use a pretty card and just attach the gloves and seed packets on the open pages of the card.

• Use your own words to express how you feel about the special person in your life.

• If gardening is not her thing, make a cooking, spa or herbal tea card using the same principle as above.

• Use only a removable adhesive to attach items to the card.
