I was at the Dollar Tree the other day ( one of those everything is a buck stores), and saw that they had those neat red and white popcorn buckets. They were made of plastic, so they are reusable. It seemed to me that they could easily hold one bag of popped microwave popcorn in them. I thought…WOW, what a great gift idea. Here is what you can do:
Get two of these popcorn buckets (place one inside the other), and two packages of the unpopped microwave popcorn. You will also want to include some movie theater sized boxes of candy ~ I personally like Raisnettes and popcorm mixed together! Next, go online to Netflix and get a gift certificate for a one month (or more, depending on your price range) membership to Netflix (you can print it right away ~ and even choose which occassion you are giving it for so that the certificate will have the look of that event!). You may want to add something to the bottom of the bucket to make your items sit towards the top of the bucket ~ if you have a paper shredder, you can use that (be really creative and add red construction paper to the shredder for a more “festive” look!
Once you have assembled your items, wrap it with transparent celophane wrap and a big bow. If you can’t find those red and white striped popcorn buckets, just use a big plasic bowl ( if you are feeling artsy, get some markers or paint pens and write POPCORN on the side of the bowl).
This is a great gift idea for Christmas, Birthday, Valentine’s Day, and any gift giving occassion.

Why not give something totally different to the one you love this Christmas! I offer unique products hand stitched by me using the candle wicking and silk ribbon embroidery method. The image below is of a pillow; however I can create a pillow, or a wall hanging of your choice. I can also personalize the image using your favorite color in place of the pink and on the initial.
Unfamiliar with candlewicking? Candlewicking is a form of surface embroidery that traditionally uses an unbleached cotton thread on a piece of unbleached muslin. It gets its name from the nature of the thread, which very much resembles the wick used in a candle. Motifs are created using a variety of knots and satin stitches. Subject matter is usually taken from nature, flowers, insects, etc. Other traditional motifs resemble PA Dutch or colonial designs. Modern designs include colored floss embroidery with the traditional white on white stitching. – As taken from Wikipedia.com. The end result? A beautifully, handmade item to use to decorate your home, to give as a gift, or keepsake that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Candlewicking, for me, started as a 4H project that won me an award. It has progressed into something I enjoy doing and sharing with others. The silk ribbon embroidery was something I ran across and loved the look of it. Because these techniques not as widely known, as they once were you will have an item unlike many others have. The added personalization only makes this item that much more unique and special. Additional personalization can be done by changing the lace, of the pillow, to a cording to match the image colors. It could be framed in a beautiful wood frame or even a frame matching the image colors. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination of the completed item.
If you would like this item please email me your name, selection of color and initial, shipping, and Paypal information.
NOTE: You will be billed upon completion of your item. It will not be shipped till payment is received. Thank you!
