This is friend Angie's birthday gift...so I fixed it up in a cute package (MINI TAKE OUT BOX) with her bday present...all of which I can't reveal at this time :) because she got a cool new phone and she might look at this today before she gets her presents. Oh, and like that tag??? (I hope so)...a similar version coming soon to download for free!!! Anyway...
Guess who else is having a birthday...
This handsome husband and SUPER DAD. He's 40 today. His present won't fit in a pretty package though!
In honor of all these birthday's I thought I'd give away a couple of FREE downloads of the Pretty Packages kit...just comment and I'll draw some names early next week!!! If you have any ideas for uses of the packages...I'd love to hear!
Not sure if
I can come with any ideas right now that you haven't already,...but, if I do, I'll come back to add it. I love your templates!

Good for treats and gift cards for sure! So cute!

Cute kit! I'd love to use them for gifts for my kids' teachers. Also, this would be great for craft projects for my daughter's Brownie troop - always looking for fun and easy crafts for them, so this would fit the bill!
Thanks for the chance to win, and happy birthday to your hubby and good friend Angie!

My hubby had a B-day this week as well #42 and I could not fit his gift in a little box either. LOL

necklace!!! :)

I have a 6 yr old girly girl - so, hair barrets, lip glosses, new earrings. Her birthday is in two weeks, may have to do a couple of these. Thanks for the great inspiration!

very cute present box! happy b-day to your husband!
Posted by: KathyK | March 06, 2010 at 11:00 PM
A little brag book tucked into the gift box would be a perfect Mother's Day gift...so easily stowed in a handbag! Janna, you are such a source of constant inspiration. Keep up the great work!
Oh - and happy birthday to your hubby, too. :)

Love the download!
Posted by: Alison | March 07, 2010 at 04:47 PM
Oh happy belated birthday to YOU too, Terri!
Posted by: jannawilson | March 07, 2010 at 08:11 PM
Very cute box, I would use one just as a pick-me up for a friend that need one. If they had a rough day or few days, and just need to know that someone is thinking about them.
Posted by: Lea Henthorne | March 07, 2010 at 08:48 PM
March is a super busy month for anniversaries here too. I could really use these.
Posted by: Minimimi | March 07, 2010 at 08:55 PM
What an adorable box!! With a cute little trinket tucked inside, it would be a nice RAK for someone. The only stipulation with the box would be that at some point they would need to pay it forward - a gift that keeps on giving!!
Posted by: Heather | March 08, 2010 at 08:14 AM
Love the box.So sweet!!!! Tags are cute too!!!
Posted by: Suzanne | March 08, 2010 at 09:02 AM
Love the box. And of course everything you create. Happy Birthday to hubby...
Posted by: Judy Chamberlain | March 08, 2010 at 09:27 AM
Really cute kit.
And please tell your Hubby "Happy Birthday & I hope may all his dreams come true!"
Posted by: QueenB | March 08, 2010 at 10:46 AM
Super neat idea, Heather!! Love it!
Posted by: jannawilson | March 08, 2010 at 04:30 PM
I love the little boxes! The best things come in small packages!!
Posted by: Joanie | March 09, 2010 at 04:16 AM
I love little packages like this to give away my knitted hats in. I give them as baby gifts usually, and this would be perfect for them!
Posted by: Sarah | March 09, 2010 at 06:59 AM
Love the friend label. The total package is too cute.
Posted by: Carla Lesley | March 09, 2010 at 02:55 PM
Completely adorable!!!! Thanks for sharing - I love them!!
Posted by: Jacquelin G | March 09, 2010 at 05:27 PM
Joanie! You are so right!
Posted by: jannawilson | March 09, 2010 at 06:37 PM
Happy belated Birthday to your hubby! The kit is adorable - I would use that over and over!!

Posted by: terri | March 12, 2010 at 08:03 AM
Yay for birthdays! I'd love to put chocolate covered pretzels and almonds in these darling little boxes :)
Posted by: Sarah | March 12, 2010 at 08:07 AM
I love your site and all your cute stuff/ideas. I would use the templates for teacher gifts. I am always looking for something cute to put the stuff I make in when it's gift time and since I could use any paper/cardstock I'm not at the mass producers mercy.
Posted by: Ashley F | March 12, 2010 at 08:47 AM
I don't think I have any ideas that I haven't already seen posted in the comments, but I'm surely now inspired with all the different creative ideas everyone has shared!
Posted by: Mel H | March 12, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Love all those cute packages! I would SO be making the stationary box... I make lots of custom card gifts (great for teacher gifts too)! I also have a special 40th bday celebration that I'm attending this month and I would use the take out box to package part of the gift... the possibilities are ENDLESS! Thanks for the chance!
