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.

Thanks to Tara for sharing with us how she added a little Garnish to a baby shower she hosted this past summer. This girl has some serious creativity and talent!
For the party favors, she used glassine bags with a stitch across the top. Nut and party cups were perfect for, well, nuts and the red tissue was perfect for her color palette.
Hmmm…I’m inspired, how about you?!

Tomorrow is National School Nurse Day. The day to thank those who take care of our little ones while we’re not there. To put on the band-aid, console, and make everything all better.
Here’s a peek at what the nurses at our schools will be receiving. I hope it brings a smile to their faces. It certainly did mine while I was putting it all together. There are so many other options for this little treat too. Think about Mother’s Day, welcoming a new mama home, welcoming guests to their hotel room after traveling to your wedding, party favors…and so on and so forth!
Here I placed the caramel tissue paper in the wood pint berry box and then nestled some goodies inside. I garnished with a piece of red and white twine and a cute and simple card.
It’s all better, with a little Garnish.

Blank canvases…that’s what I love about Garnish products. It doesn’t matter what the season, what the occasion, or what the moment is…there’s always a way to add a little Garnish. (more…)

You never know when you might want to add a little Garnish so stock up and be prepared for all those moments.
I was heading out the door the other day to a pool party. I wanted my blueberry bars to look cute (hey, it’s what I do!) and thus began my dish debate. Which dish should I use that a) I didn’t mind forgetting or b) looked better than an ordinary disposable plate. And then it hit me…’duh!’…I’ll add a little Garnish! I chose to use the small cardboard clamshell and used some colored tissue from my wrapping bin but rested the treats on our white FDA tissue paper (can you use regular tissue for food…don’t know but I thought I’d be a better friend if I didn’t poison them!). I went back to the wrapping bin and pulled out some cheery ribbon for a bow. The result was delightful and my hostess was tickled by it all (personally, I was thrilled at how easy it was). And really, isn’t it about making someone smile?!
If cupcakes or muffins are your thing cart them along in the square hinged container. There are so many possibilities. Have a look through the bits n’ pieces and ideas section of the website and pick out your favorites to have on hand. You never know when your next invite will come along. ‘Tis the season of impromptu get-togethers.
Stock those shelves…it’s time to think Garnish!

The holidays are here! It is the time of year for traditions and celebrations with friends and family. As our calendars fill up with holiday open houses and cocktail parties, we are left with the age old question…what would make the perfect hostess gift?
Think of a hostess gift as an opportunity to let your personality shine through. It doesn’t need to be fancy…just Garnished! When thinking of what your host might enjoy, think of what you would love. Chances are, you’ll hit a home run every time.
An excellent go-to hostess gift has always been a nice bottle of wine. The great thing about wine today is you don’t need an expensive wine to have a great wine, hence fits any budget. Present your wine in a simple unique way with our kraft wine box. Add your own embellishments to have a little fun. Hit your stash of wrapping paper or scrapbook papers, cut out some rectangles long enough to fit around the box to make a simple but chic band. You could even create layers with complementing papers. While you’ve got all your supplies out, add a little garnish to several boxes so you won’t have to fret on party day. If paper bands aren’t your thing, why not just write a holiday wish on the box itself. An artist perhaps? Or do you have a little artist in your house? Draw right on the box for a presentation that is truly all your own! A quote relevant to the occasion tucked inside one of our glassine bags, our twines, or stickers are all perfect adornments too. The creative juices flowing yet?!
If your host has a Christmas tree in their house, an ornament would make an excellent hostess gift. You can purchase gorgeous inexpensive ornament balls (or your style of choice) from stores such as Target and Pier 1 Imports. Garnish has a multitude of ways you can package up your ornaments…here are some quick thoughts. Let the beauty of the ornament shine through and place it inside our clear acetate box, resting on a pillow of tissue. Add a little twine or your own decorative ribbon and your host may not want to remove the ornament from the box! Your host will remember you, and your fantastic hostess gift, year after year when they trim their tree.
This next idea is a personal favorite. Love throwing parties, hate finding the energy to make breakfast the next morning?! So why not present your host with a box full of breakfast items for them to enjoy in the morning. This will be a hostess gift that is truly appreciated (and just might make you the most sought after guest!). Don’t feel that you need to spend all day baking cinnamon buns or croissants. It is the thought (and packaging) that counts. So, if baking isn’t your speciality, visit your favorite bakery and gather a selection of goodies for your host to enjoy. Add some coffee beans and a nice jam or honey and you’re all set. Tuck this all inside our squat gable box or the squat take-out container for a unique presentation. Add a sticker with a note of thanks or a little message such as “le petit dejeuner” or “Breakfast, the most important meal of the day”. If your host has children, they will love having something on the ready to feed the little ones the next morning!
A couple other quick thoughts. Create a CD of holiday music or some tracks from your music library. Store it inside our tin cd case with a clear sticker displaying a holiday wish. Holiday treats such as candies and cookies are sure to please. And delivered in cellophane bags, white lunch bags, take-out containers or any of our products will create a hostess gift sure to stand out.
Who knew it could be so easy to add a little Garnish to your hostess gifts?! Have fun out there. Let your creative fire (even if it’s an ember!) run wild and enjoy yourself. After all, sharing good times is what the holidays are all about!
