If you were to ask what one of the top 10 selling products at Garnish is, we’d answer the “do me a favor” glassine bag. They are so pretty in their simplicity and totally versatile. You love them, we love them, and here are six different ways you can use them.
- Crackers and cheese in a large glassine bag. Fun for appetizers, picnics or an outdoor soiree. And if you have folks in your group who don’t enjoy the thought of a community appetizer plate, well than this will definitely be a hit!
- Let the sun shine in and the gift shine through. The medium glassine bag with a gift card tucked in, adhered to a pretty note card. Well, that’s just plain pretty
- I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m terrible at putting music mixes together and love it when others do it for me. A welcomed favor at a wedding or party, music cd in an extra large glassine bag closed with a bit of twine.
- Wondering what to bring your gracious hostess? How about a stack of coasters in a large glassine bag. Always needed on warm summer days to protect the tables from those inevitable sweaty drink glasses. Garnished with twine and nestled in a wooden pint size berry box.
- How cute is this?! Use the small glassine bag as a cutlery holder (of course we are choosing the wooden disposable cutlery and the all so cute straw) which can also double as a place card. Loving this!
- Who says you need to use a regular ol’ envelope for an invite? Get out a pair of fancy scissors to trim the top and give it a wee stitch and you’ve just created an invite that pops.

We’re taking a small breather here at Garnish (don’t fret…shipping is still going strong!) so we can re-stock, re-group, and plan ahead. As we look at bringing in some new products (egads with excitement!) we’re wondering…is there something you would love to see on the Garnish shelves? Something caught your eye and you’re thinking geez, wish I could find that someplace, somewhere I can buy only what I need.
Us Garnish folk aim to please so we’d love to hear what you’re thinking. And we’ll even take it one step further. A discount for those who share what’s on their mind!
So, we ask, if you had a Garnish wish…what-oh-what would it be?!

Mmmmm….the smell of fresh bread. That just makes me smile. So does the thought of using the kraft baking mold as a different kind of bread basket.

You might have thought that since this pint size wooden berry container is named Berry Berry Quite Contrary, it’s just for berries. And if you were of that notion, then you must have forgotten that we’re huge fans of multi-tasking. And here we have six ways, other than the obvious fruit, to use the pint size wooden berry basket.
- A picnic lunch. This idea will just never get old. No matter what the sandwhich, no matter what the drink…the final lunch box is always adorable. Here’s a tip. Prepare all the lunch boxes ahead of time. Place on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge. When it’s picnic party time arrange on a table or blanket. More time to spend with your peeps.
- Control that clutter. Tame your craft stations, homework stations, bill-paying stations. Because, don’t you just feel so much better when everything has a home?!
- Give a gift. While the idea of a gift basket is nothing new. A gift in this basket will be unexpected and fondly remembered. The twine adds to it all.
- Display your collections. A different twist for showing off your wares. Here’s a tidbit…enjoy the natural beauty of the wood or paint, stamp, or decorate to suit your mood.
- Movie night snack. While movies and popcorn go hand in hand I’m thinking candies or nuts would be just as yummy and cute. Line the basket with a piece of tissue so nothing escapes through the cracks.
- Every day ingredients. Just like the way this looks, plain and simple.
And thus concludes today’s episode of six pack on pint size wooden berry baskets. We hope you’ve enjoyed the show. Click on the pic to view the show in full screen mode.

The arrival of a new baby is glorious. But let’s face it, they’re needy little suckers. Fresh out of the gate, so to speak, they require it all. And our friends and family are always there to bear gifts of teensy clothing, car seats, the boatloads of equipment that a little person requires, and the all important, diapers. We dote, we ooh and aah at that precious little miracle. Their every whim, their every need is speedily met.
But what about Mama?! She has needs too and she’s most likely so busy tending to her little bundle that she has completely spaced out on herself. That whole pregnancy brain thing, it’s known to linger a little while longer. So what does that Mama need? She needs food. Plain and simple. And better yet, she needs someone else to make it for her. A well nourished Mama is a happy Mama and a happy Mama leads to a happy family. Sort of like that line from Jerry McGuire – “A happy wife means a happy life.” – or something like that.
Have fun shopping for all things cute for that baby and when you bring it on over, include a little lunch for Mama. She needs her strength and to Garnish it up is as easy as 1,2,3!
Start with a squat bio pak container. It won’t leak, can be microwaved and was designed just for this task. Insert lunch of choice. Lay the bio pak container in the center of an ever-so-cute tea towel, which she can use to drape across her lap so she doesn’t have to leave her comfy chair.
Bring the sides together like you’re wrapping a present…which you are!
Tie the corners in a knot and tuck disposable wooden cutlery into the knot, because really, do you think she wants to do dishes?!
Trust me when I say, if you bring Mama food, you will have a friend for life.
