Creative gift ideas

Are you still looking for the perfect Christmas present? Here you'll find lots of great ideas for creative and decorative gifts full of memories.

Homemade place cards and menu holders

You can make your own fantastic card holders for your place cards or menus with simple tools and materials. You can use four corks glued together in a square to put a card on the top. You can also use pine cones and small or thick pieces of wood as a base for your cards by sawing a notch into each one of them and then you can insert the cards. If the pine cones keep falling down you can stick them to a thin piece of wood with some glue.

You can use individually designed photo coasters as place cards on your table.

Using coasters as place cards

The square shaped Photo Coasters from ifolor are perfect as decorative items for your table or as creative place cards for your Christmas table decorations. Personalise the coasters with the names or initials of your guests or use some Christmas and winter pictures to decorate your table. The coasters are available in practical sets of 4 or 8. You can store them safely in the box provided until the next Christmas dinner party. Alternatively, you can also make them as a gift for your loved ones, who can then take them home with them after the Christmas dinner.
