"Hello this Yvonna Coulter again from Judi Flowers studio and I'm here to show how you can take some of the homemade items that you may have learned about in our other videos and put them together for a really great gift. So, one thing you can do, you can take the slippers that you put together with your own flowers you had lying around the house and this lovely sachet that you put together and if you worried, you know, maybe you want to make it a little bit fancier, you can take something that you've bought, like a beautiful eye mask, like such, put it together and it can be a themed present. Add, you know, a bottle of suntan lotion, put it in a bag that says "Aloha" and you can say this is your Hawaiian birthday gift or whatever if you have a themed party, it's a great way to tie it together because you put your own accessories. Make it very personalized. It would be great for baby showers, wedding presents, anything where a theme might work. And it's easy to do and it's easy to make it more of your own rather than, you know, something generic that you would buy at a store. So, that's a few good ways to put things together as a nice gift."
