Homemade Thanksgiving Table Prezzies

Ever since I can remember Thanksgiving has been at our house, and ever since I can remember the table settings have been a big deal. Each person gets to take home a little prezzie that is placed at their table. In the past we have made little boxes filled with chocolates, homemade salts with little spoons, or little picture frames with fall pictures in them. So even though Thanksgiving is still 2 months away, my mom and I like to brainstorm in advance in order to be EXTRA prepared for the big day!

Here is an option I came up with for one of the tables:

Leaf Pens!

Made with:
Ribbon, found around the house.
Leaf decorations from Pier 1 found here.
Pens, found around the house.

Directions:
Wrap pen with ribbon
Hot glue end of ribbon at the top of the pen.

attach leaf.

TaDa! Leaf pens! you can attach the pens to a notepad or tie them on the napkin at the table for a festive look.

It's the ecstasy of gift-ing. The joy you've given to the gift recipient, simply because you put in the time and effort to think about who they are and what they like.
