Last Minute-On the Cheap!

I think it's become a Less Cake {more frosting} tradition for me to give you some super last minute ideas. I'd like to think it's because I'm trying to help you out.

When in reality, I'm becoming super dis-organized, and I'm actually doing these things last minute.

This one is a way to give last minute neighbor gifts.
(or in case someone brings you something....
and you totally didn't get them anything....
but now you feel obligated. 
Or does that only happen to me?)

It would also make a really simple hostess gift.

Start with a bottle of red colored soda. I am IN LOVE with Pomegranate 7-up.  Which only comes out at the holidays.  But you could also use Red Cream, Cherry, or even a super cheap knock-off brand.
No one's gonna know.  (don't you love that?)

1st step is remove the label.  I know, it's not necessary.  But just do it, to humor me.  I HATE labels.  We just aren't friends.  It should be a really easy removal.  They're just glued on in one spot in the back.

Download, then print out my brand new freebie printable.
(did you say free?)
Yes.  Yes I did.

(simply enlarge the picture until it's at full resolution. Save to your desktop. And print. Please DO NOT re-post without a link back to this blog. Do not sell, alter, or claim as your own.)

There are 2 long strips to go around the soda bottle.  1 label (the fa la la one) that you stick on top of that.  And a tag, to write on.

Super classy, super cheap, super easy.  And no "may your holiday be merry and sprite".  Because, no offense to anyone who does this....but I'm not a huge fan of the little clever tags on neighbor gifts.
Look.
You gave me a sprite.
I totally appreciate it.
We will use it in our holiday entertaining.
But I don't need it to make "sense" as a neighbor gift.
I get it.

It's not rude.  It's just that I'm not 5.

(does this admittal mean that you won't bring me Sprite anymore?  Okay.  I LOVE the cute tags.  Cute away....I still need sprite!)

So print away, and no one will think you thought of them "last minute!"
