Cover a small box with pretty paper- and attach this poem.

Prayer Box

Place your worries in this box
throughout the day,
then send them up to God
when at night you pray.

Now open up the lid and
let the worries go, they've
already been taken care of...didn't you know?

Fan fold a dish cloth, and tie a pipe cleaner around the middle, spread the sides to look like wings.

Add this poem:


I'm a handy little butterfly
And colorful as you can see
I can brighten up your kitchen
If you'll just set me free

So turn me loose and set me free
For this is one of my wishes.
Just take the pipe stem from my body
And I'll help you wash the dishes

~ FLOWER POT GIFT ~

Here's a little pot
in which to plant a flower
For now, enjoy the candy
(I hope it's not too sour)

When the candy's gone
put some soil in the pot.
Then you add some water
be careful, not a lot!

Put a plant into the soil
or some seeds, just 2 or 3
And when you look this way,
you'll always think of me!

Paint a small flower crock, fill it with sour candy. Anchor a plant poke
with a pkg of seeds (Forget-Me-Nots or Daisies, etc) and attach the above
poem. Tie a pretty wire-edged ribbon or sweet country-type raffia bow
around the pot.

A Simple Nail

It's Christmas time at our house
And we are putting up the tree.
I wish I could find one simple way
To remember Christ's gift to me.

Some little sign or symbol
To show friends stopping by
The little babe was born one day
But he really came to die.

Some symbol of his nail pierced hands
The blood he shed for you and me
What if I hung a simple nail
Upon my Christmas tree?

A crimson bow tied 'round the nail
As his blood flowed down so free.
To save each person from their sin
And redeem us for all eternity.

I know it was his love for us
That held him to that tree
But when I see this simple nail
I know he died for me.

GRANDPARENT'S GIFT ALBUM

Grandma & Grandpa.
this book is for you,
though it might be quite puzzling
as the pictures are few.
But every few months
if you don't make a fuss,
we'll send (give) you more pages
with pictures of us!

... or

But every few months
if you don't fuss or groan,
I'll (we'll) send (give) you more pages
of how I (we) have grown!

A poem to give with a gift of lip gloss or lip balm.

* Christian Lip Gloss *



I have this Christian Lip Gloss - -

I'll put some on each day.

I do it to remind me

to "choose the words I say".



I'll try to speak with kindness

to everyone I meet,

I'll share a smile and spread some happiness

to everyone I greet.



This Christian Lip Gloss reminds me

of the values I hold dear.

The colors are so cheerful,

and the message is so clear.



If I want to "live the gospel",

I must choose each word I say.

I'll speak in just the kindest words

and I won't forget to pray!

Purchase inexpensive kitchen towels, and attach this:

The Ordinary Towel
At first glance, one looks at a kitchen towel and thinks, "Wow, a towel... I needed a new one. The old ones are getting stained and worn." But have we ever stopped to think that for years, even thousands of years, the towel has not just been used in the kitchen, but for a variety of reasons? Take example the mother who wipes the tears of a child to soothe the physical and emotional hurt, the physician who binds the wound of a bleeding patient, the woman in her home, wiping her hands as she moves from task to task, the weary traveler who wipes his sweated brow. Some other examples would be the manager of a boxer who "throws in the towel" to save the life of his protégé or the young man wiping the grease off his hands as he fixes his old jalopy. Notwithstanding all of the above examples, perhaps the most significant use of the towel was about two thousand years ago when our loving Brother took an ordinary towel in his hands and dried the feet of the disciples only hours before his crucifixion. Sure, the towel is a handy item with a myriad of uses, but it also has deep symbolic meaning when seen in the hands of the Savior doing a work of kindness for His fellow men. So take this towel, knowing it is given with love, and do works of goodness with it, as the Savior worked goodness with His so many years ago. With love,

* Bread *

Just a humble loaf of bread,
But 'twas once a bowl of paste,
Which, if I left in that condition
Would have surely gone to waste.

But, when kneaded, it was changed
Into something good to eat.
By some kind and loving hands
And an interval of heat.

We, like that loaf of bread,
Must be "needed" to become
What the Lord desires of us
Ere we return back home.

But we cannot "Need ourselves"
We must all serve one another
With kind and loving hands,
Just like our elder Brother,

So that when we are subjected
To that interval of heat,
We'll be like the loaf of bread;
Warm and smooth, and smelling sweet.

I don't have links or credits for these, if you do, please add them.


Cookie Cutter

Place a cookie cutter in a
baggie and attach this poem:

I made a plate of cookies,
to share with you this year.
I thought it was a good way,
to spread some Christmas
cheer.They all looked so
tasty, so I thought I'd eat just
one. And a little while later,
I noticed there were none.
So here's my Christmas
greeting, and a cookie cutter,
too. Now you can make your
own cookies,and maybe
share a few.


Cookie Dough Poem

Attach poem to a roll of
refrigerated cookie dough:

#1 -

Poinsettia's are red
Cookies are sweet
I've been really busy. So
make your own treats!


Dust Pan Cookies

Get a new dust pan at the dollar store
and fill it with your favorite holiday cookies. Add a crumpled cookie on
the top and wrap with plastic wrap and tie with ribbon or raffia. Add a
poem to the tag.

#1 -

I baked a batch of cookies
And dropped them on the floor
I quickly scooped them up again
And brought them to your door!

#2 -

I was in a hurry,
'Cuz time was running out.
I'd baked a batch of cookies
for you.And when I turned about,
I saw they'd fallen on the floor.
It made me want to shout!
How could this happen at this
time. When time was running out.
I couldn't throw them in the trash,
Whatever could I do! I quickly
swept them in this pan,
And rushed them off to you.

#3 -

I was baking some cookies,
When they dropped on the floor
So I scooped them right up
And rushed them to your door!
Merry Christmas From Our
House To Yours!

In front of my computer
Here are the poems for the gift wrapping gift. Last year I gave a roll of wrapping paper, a package of gift tags and a roll of tape as gifts to dh office. You could add a roll of ribbon and a scissors. I had picked everything up the day after Christmas on Sale and just stored everything until the next year. I blended several of these poems to make one of my own (which I didn't write down, lol).

This is the Gift-wrap Gift Poem we remember (submitted by JoHanna Weller and Sara Eberhard - thank you!)
Since November you’ve been Shoppin’,
Barely sleepin’, hardly stoppin
Now it’s late, you’re in a scrape
Out of paper, out of tape
Hope this wrap helps save the day
Have a Happy holiday!
Another version of the poem above from Debbie Fish:
Seems forever you’ve been shoppin’
Barely sleepin’, hardly stoppin’
Now your papers running low
One more time to the store you go
No need for that, never fear
We’ve got you covered for this year
Aren’t you glad we came your way?
Have a Happy Holiday!
The next poem comes from Debbie Webster:
The Christmas Season is here
Santa’s day of deliveries is drawing near.
So much to do, so much to see
Each day is full of love and glee.
We hope this gift will help you out
With wrapping presents all about,
We wish you love, joy and cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Gift Wrap Poem
By Angie Larsen
T’was the week before Christmas
And all through the town
You’ve hustled and bustled
On the verge of a nervous break-down.
You bought all the gifts
Even checked your list twice
But oh crap!
You forgot the wrap.

So allow us to present
This paper to you our friends
Along with a little ribbon
It will tie up all those loose ends.
Another version of the poem above from Debbie Fish:

Seems forever you've been shoppin'
Barely sleepin', hardly stoppin'
Now your papers running low
One more time to the store you go
No need for that, never fear
We've got you covered for this year
Aren't you glad we came your way?
Have a Happy Holiday!


The next poem comes from Debbie Webster:

The Christmas Season is here
Santa’s day of deliveries is drawing near.
So much to do, so much to see
Each day is full of love and glee.

We hope this gift will help you out
With wrapping presents all about,
We wish you love, joy and cheer
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas Candy M&M'S

As you hold these candies
In you hand,
And turn them,
You will see.
The M becomes a W,
An E, and then a 3.
They tell the Christmas story,
It's one I'm sure you know.
It took place in a stable,
A long, long, time ago.
The E is for the East,
Where the star shone so bright.
The M is for the Manger,
Where Baby Jesus slept that night.
The 3 is for the Wisemen,
Bearing gifts, they say they came.
W is for Worship, Hallelujah, Praise His Name.
So as you eat these candies,
Or share them with a friend,
Remember the meaning of Christmas,
It's a Love story that never ends.

Innkeeper's Key

attach poem to a key

In Bethlehem a star shone bright
To signify a special night.
Mary and Joseph had come to stay
But each lodging place turned them away.
At the last place they tried,
still no room at all
Except for a simple hay-filled stall.
Thanks to one man's kindness
to those needy strangers
Jesus' life began, safe in a lowly manger.
This innkeepers key is a symbol of
how simple act fills the world with love.
Keep this key, and remember
God's love is the reason
We are filled with blessings
each Christmas season.

Really like all of the poems/ides. I made up a little poem last year to give with the Christmas Jars I gave some friends on "Christmas in July". Several of us had decided to not exchange gifts but do something for someone in need. I also gave one to my Secret Sister at church who has 3 small children and had decided to be a stay at home Mom reducing her income.

I gave them all the book, decorated a jar (computer label) and attached this poem to fit either situation saving described in the book:

May God bless your efforts,
As this Christmas Jar plants the seed

May He guide your thoughts and decisions,
As you follow where he leads

Whether you save for your own family’s Christmas
Or for someone else in need,

Preparing for added expenses at Christmas,
Is a good steward indeed!

I have been collecting cupcake liners with different holiday sprinkles to go with them over the past 9 months for a special basket for a family. I want to get a cupcake recipe book to go with it and put it all in a basket. I am hoping someone might have a poem that I can add. Thanks for any help you can give. ::eek:rnament:

Twinklestar I've been trying to pick up cupcake liners too (missed a couple, so will have to wait until next year to gift). I was planning one of those cup cake trees or the cupcake carriers, a cupcake idea book is good too!

Hope someone comes up with a poem!
