When I was a kid I spent countless hours with my grandmother in her garden picking berries. My mother and I would later make jam from the berries and there was rarely store-bought jam in our house. Maybe that’s why when I see jars of homemade jam I can’t help but think of home, my family and all the things that inspire me most. This week has been a smidge crazy for me so I decided to round up a …

When Sara posted the recipe for these sweet chocolate treats yesterday on Sprouted Kitchen, I immediately starred the recipe so I can put it to good use this weekend. I love her idea of packaging these up in pretty little jars with fabric and twine, tied with a cute little tag made from newspaper and colorful construction paper as perfect little Valentine’s Day gift or wedding favors. What I love even more – her retelling of the sweet Valentine’s Day …

I loved reading the guest posts from the ladies of BBB on design*sponge last week and in particular, I loved their ideas for great edible gift ideas, which would make perfect favor ideas for your upcoming wedding, shower or party. From honey and granola to perfectly packaged tea, the ideas are simple, thoughtful and heartwarming. I love how each is carefully bundled up with strips of stamped muslin, scraps of simple ribbon and all of the requisite accessories like honey …

If you live in Philly (or your heart resides in Philly, one or the other), these  City of Brotherly Love soft pretzel bags from Bird & Banner are for you. They’re $10 for 10 bags and they’re also available in bulk quantities – perfect for late night snacks at a wedding reception! I’ve always believed that edible favors are the best kind, but I especially love when you offer guests a little snack that is connected to a place near …

In my world, a good homemade granola is as good as comfort food gets. I love making granola to have with Greek yogurt for breakfast or to package up and take along for a hike. I can think of so many excuses to make up a batch of granola to be jarred, labeled and tied with ribbon for loved ones. Jars of granola would be perfect favors at a wedding, shower or a morning after brunch. (Or any brunch really.) …

I bookmarked this recipe for homemade vanilla extract a few months ago, but was jut reminded of it when Joy put together a little recap of her last two years of blogging as Joy the Baker. If you do any baking at all, you probably know how expensive a good quality vanilla extract is, which is why I love the idea of giving homemade vanilla extract as wedding favors, especially if you and your honey are known for being foodies …

Speaking of great wedding favor ideas, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw these adorable s’mores kits on Twig & Thistle today. (Kathleen found them at Packaging Specialties in Seattle.) How adorable would it be to have a little s’mores kit at each place setting at a wedding or event or even arranged on a side table for guests to enjoy either at the party or after? Call me crazy, but I’m already dreaming of holiday parties and …

I love this idea for thanking guests for celebrating with you at your wedding – how about cute thank you cards or note cards as wedding favors or party favors? Especially if you’re a stationery lover, I’m smitten with the idea of encouraging loved ones to pick up a pen and send a friend a handwritten note by giving them a little bundle of note cards to take home.

These cute cards are by Green Paper Company, tied simply with striped …
