Ice cold milk and chocolate. Doesn’t that sound yummy? Sure does, especially when it’s Garnished with a blue and white striped paper straw.

Grab some milk and chocolate goodness and go check it out.
Garnish + Enjoy

What’s better than a little something sweet? A little something sweet, that’s cute!
Hmmm, what’s inside that little brown box? Could it be a slice of cake? Maybe a pastry…I’m thinking a mille-feuille. And that fork (how fun with the rub on letters!). Just staring at you, calling your name to dig on in. Oh great, now there’s potential for drool on the keyboard.
Here you have it, kraft rectangle box + wooden fork + natural bakery twine. Place a petite loaf liner inside to spruce it up a bit. What are you going to do with it? Wedding favors, party favors, shower favors. Share that big cake you made (really, do you need the whole cake?) with those around you. A great presentation for dessert. Bring a bite of sweet to that person who you know really needs a smile today. So simple, yet so fun. A statement, made.
Now, back to what is awaiting inside that box. Eclair, tiramisu, sponge cake, heavenly chocolate cake…
Garnish + Enjoy

There are cookies. And then there are cookies. The difference, a talented gal like Erin and of course, a little Garnish.
Now, these cookies with their cute edible frosting decals are pretty amazing. But when Garnished with a glassine bag or a cellophane bag tied in twine, well now you’re talking!
Aren’t they wonderful?! A great little nugget of eye candy. Planning a Mother’s Day Brunch? Hosting a baby or bridal shower? Thinking wedding favors? Or my favorite reason to Garnish…no real reason at all! Just because…you like to make people smile.
So go ahead, get your baking on,or slice and bake (for you bakers out there please don’t cringe). Whip up a batch. Dole out the smiles.
Hello Cookies. Hello Frosting. Hello Garnish.
Garnish + Enjoy

Every once in a while the comment will pop up – Love Garnish, but don’t love to cook. To which we reply – You don’t need to cook sweetie, just add a little Garnish and no one will know! For example, yes, I’ll admit it, there are occasions where I just might have popped by Starbucks or a the bake shop of a grocery store to pick up some treats. I put my own spin on the Garnish, ’cause that’s what’s so great. Now, I never offered up that it wasn’t homemade. I didn’t need to, I had them at the packaging.
Back in December Garnish participated in a giveaway hosted by The Nester. We sent her some Garnishes to play with and what she came up with blew our ribbons and bows off. Here’s a great example. She spoke about sprucing up hand me down toys, a great budget gift. She added a little Garnish. And she was right when she questioned what little boy wouldn’t love to receive some Legos for his collection when presented like this in our pint sized paper container.
You know what really hit the wow button? The use of the ribbon on just the lid. Just the lid folks! Seriously had never thought of that and am in deep love. Wouldn’t this be fun for all you ice cream folks out there? I say put ribbons and bows in the freezer. Just maybe put a piece of plastic wrap or press and seal on top of the ice cream first so the ribbon stays clean. Maybe some caramel corn inside, with the same type of ribbon idea. Yummy and cute party favor.
And, no kitchen utensils required!
Garnish + Enjoy

Woodn’t you like to do the unexpected?
Woodn’t you like to have them whisper (you’re wow-ness)?
Woodn’t you like to be ecofriendly?
Woodn’t you like a peanut butter cup on a spoon?
Woodn’t you love our new wooden cutlery?!
We would, and we’re pretty sure you would too!
And to put the chocolate on the peanut butter, so to speak, the flat handles of these cutlery pieces are the blank slate for your creativity. We used rub on letters, you can use stamps as well. Even a good ol’ fashioned Sharpie. Whatever your creative tool, let the wooden cutlery speak for themselves by adding your own saying. Whether it’s simply eat, enjoy, family, baby (1+1=2…so cute!), love, the number of the birthday year being celebrated it will be sure to make a statement.
So go ahead, stick a fork in it (or a spoon or knife), Garnish it and simply, enjoy.
Garnish + Enjoy

…bring May bridal showers!
As the hostess of the bridal shower, you have taken on the task of creating a stand-out, memorable event. You want nothing less for the lovely gal you are celebrating. Are you shaking in your stilettos (or mary jane’s, sandals etc.) at the thought of the task? Save that shaking for the dance floor girlfriend! I’m here to tell you that it’s all much, much easier than you think. (more…)

Thank you to Garnish friend Tara for sharing with us her plans to Garnish her wedding day. This is a fantastic idea that epitomizes the concept of packaging life’s moments.
Tara is a bride who is planning ahead and definitely knows how to take care of her ladies. Knowing that while primping their beautiful selves to walk down the aisle and celebrate the day, everyone’s tummies will be getting a little hungry. Her original inspiration came from a Martha photo but wanted to make it her own so decided to add a little Garnish. (more…)

Imagine if you can, the sweet, comforting smell of freshly baked cookies wafting throughout your house. Now imagine if you will the sheer joy of knowing that you didn’t have to dirty one dish in the process. Now that’s one vision I can get behind!
Can someone please host a party, invite me, and send home this fun goodie bag?! I so want one and I’m sure your friends will too! Prepare a batch of sugar cookie dough, easy enough, and easy to multiply. Roll it into a log and wrap in parchment paper. Tie the ends with our red and white twine for the cutest log you’ve ever seen. Pour some sprinkles, to garnish those cookies, into our black oval dip cups. Wouldn’t you agree that cookies are better with frosting? So be sure to include some in our plastic bottles. By the way, no one says it has to be homemade (shhh…I won’t tell). They’re perfect for little hands (or my hands!) to squeeze out the sweet delight! All this placed inside a squat gable box, adorned with your creativity, and you’ll have folks lining up at the door.
This box has been Garnished for Valentine’s Day but you just might be seeing it again around St. Patty’s Day!
I’ll be awaiting my invitation!
