Brown Paper Packages

I was able to help throw a party for the ladies at our church. We ended up having a "Favorite Things" party, which ended up being SO fun! Of course we had to have some 'brown paper packages tied up with string' at the party. So I went to the dollar store, naturally. I found a roll of brown paper, different sized snowflakes, multiple size bells, and some silk flower bouquets. I bought the white string and cinnamon scented pinecones at Micheals. I already had the tea light candles from a previous party (purchased at Hobby Lobby), the mason jars, and the epsom salt (snow in the jars) in my cupboards. This ended up being very inexpensive and classy decor.

For our theme we had each lady bring one of their favorite things to give away; socks, treats, candles,  dishes, gloves, scarves - anything under or around $5. When they arrived they wrote their name on a piece of paper and placed it in a bowl. After we finished our dinner we had one person start the game by sharing what they brought. When they finished they drew a name out of the bowl and that person received their gift. Everyone came with something and everyone left with something. Everyone had a wonderful time!
