As previously mentioned, I am NOT looking forward to fall. I would forgo the PSL’s, the colored leaves, and the football for just a few more weeks of summer. Remember just a few short months ago when everyone was on Facebook complaining about the winter-never-ending, and begging for shorts weather? Now those same people are online begging for Fall, claiming they cannot wait to get their hands on everything and anything pumpkin. I am quite settled exactly where I am, thank you very much. Don’t rush me. I don’t want to wear boots with leg warmers, I’ll stick to my bikini. Good thing I live in California, we still have weeks of good weather left! (knock on wood)
Because I love sunshine so much, I’m apparently the queen of sunshine gifts. I seem to be making one of these every month, as you can see here. However, this time I wanted to change it up a little bit. I typically do a ‘Box of Sunshine,’ that is mailed to a friend or family member that needs a little brightening up. But last week, our neighbor was going through a tough time. Now, I’m not denying how great the boxes are, but what’s even better?
Wine. Wine and cookies. Duh. Wine and cookies make everything better. The only thing missing is a cheeseburger. But that’s definitely just me.
So I designed a new little tag for the wine bottle, tied up some cookies (with this little tag), and voila. A much more appropriate sunshine gift for your friends. This way, they can drink their troubles away. I can’t possibly be the only person that does that right?
Love this! Wine & cookies is the best combo ever.
Right?!?! (Or coffee. But wine is better for the sad days!) Haha!
Since I live in the freezing state of Wisconsin, (It will be snowing in less than 2 months) I expect one of these sunshine gifts at my door no later than November 1st. Thanks! 🙂
Sure. Just in time for your birthday!
Perfect just like you!! You’re so creative! XOXO
Oh my gosh thank you so much! That is too nice! 🙂
I’m with you, Shauna. I would love if Summer lasted a bit longer, especially after the brutal winter that we’ve just had. I love your idea!
Thank you!!! And maybe we should all just move to an island?!
Wine and cookies is the best combo! LOVE
Regarding the end of summer…I am so ready lol. I’m trying to remember if I ever said I was excited for summer to begin?? I can’t imagine I did because I hate the heat! I probably did though. Don’t laugh at me:)
xo
Haha I see that from your post! But I don’t remember if you said you couldn’t wait for summer, so you’re in the clear. 😉
And it looks like my favorite cookies too….milanos!
Oh they are. Only they’re not Mint ones. Those are your real favs.
you are so DARN clever. Your mama taught you well….
Umm…you’re the best neighbor. Could you live by me? Though Illinois isn’t the greatest of weather places. 😉
Oh and I love cheeseburgers, wine, and cookies too. And ice cream. ?
I’ll take the cookies, you could take the wine and did I hear something about a burger? Yes, please!
It’s so weird because this is the first year that I’m not ready for Fall. I’m ready for the humidity and the bugs (oh man, THE BUGS) to leave but I’m dreading the winter. Hopefully the Farmer’s Almanac is wrong and it’s not too bad (snowy)!
as much as i love Autumn, i’m with you — i’d make summer last as long as possible if it were up to me. wine & sunshine is one of the best pairings a gal can think of. 🙂
Ha! I just wrote about my disdain for pumpkin things in my blog yesterday; mostly about how everyone is trying to hit the fast forward button and catapult themselves into Fall. Um? It’s 90 degrees out in New York; CHILL. I’m with you – the sooner Fall comes, that means winter is right behind it. And winter’s here (unlike Cali) are bruuuuuutal. So, I’m with you 🙂

Definitely can’t beat a bottle of wine on a bad day! xo
Right?! I completely agree! 🙂
You always have the best gift ideas! I love this one! 🙂
Awww thanks so much!!! Your ideas are so great too. I still am obsessing over the fabric notepads!
You’re so creative! Please open an Etsy store with tags so I can buy from you 🙂
Ohhh I would love to but I just don’t know what to sell! I like letting others use my tags if they like them, for free, because I feel like it’s so important to help make other people smile!! 🙂
This is one of the many reasons I love you!
Hahaha because I know wine is better than anything else?! 🙂
That too, duh! ?
I love this idea! It’s always nice to get a little bit of sunshine, and adding the cookies is such a fun little added treat! Also, I wanted to nominate you for the One Lovely Blog Award! I hope you find time to do it! 🙂
