Trinkets for Trimming!

My number one wrapping buddy this year is the button. Why? Because they come in so many different sizes, shapes, and colors. Also, in many cases you can snap up bow embellishing buttons for a little more than a song. Fa la la, la, la!

Basics in black and white. The domino is the little black dress of wrapping at #2.

Buckle up for safety! Say helloo to #3. Belt buckles are fabulous embellishments for gifts, and make wonderful napkin rings. Don't forget about vintage shoe buckles. They're pretty nifty too!

Feather your nest with these fluffy fineries. Friends of a feather come in on this list at #4.

#5...Clothes pins. A little clip here, a little clamp there, here a clip, there a clamp, everywhere a clip clamp. This was not as easy to write as you may think!

No, no, no these are certainly not tacky. On the contrary my friends, they are divine indeed. At #6, upholstery tacks are a must have in your bucket of goodies. I like to wrap ribbon around a package and tack it right to the box. What would you do with these? Don't be shy...show us your junk wizardry.

Are you all geared up to get wrapping. If not, pick some of these up and set your wheels in motion.

Tick, tock...tick,tock... it's time to rock! Rock the world of your friends and family that is by presenting them with a gift wrapped in a timeless fashion. Yay for #8!

Well lookie what made the list right here at #9. Keys of course. Use them and you will achieve package perfection. They make pretty darn cute necklaces too!

#10...Beautimous glass baubles. Love, love, love these! They are ideal for making a package look extra fancy shmancy, but they also work well on the tree or in a garland.

He sees you when you're sleeping and he knows when you're awake! Hmmm.. I know everyone is on the nice list. We are junkers afterall! Don't forget to have plenty of Scrabble and Anagram letters in your holiday trinket box. They have many applications during the holidays, but my fav is to leave Santa a note with his milk and cookies all done up board game style!

And rounding out the top 12....You didn't think you were going to get away from this post without seeing these little letters did you? You know me and my metal stencils. I do indeed have a special place in my heart for them. Cards, packages, table settings, and so much more. The holidays would not be the same without them. Ho, Ho, Ho!
