If you like to create food gifts for friends, family, and neighbors, then wrap them up pretty this Thanksgiving with these FREE "giving thanks" printable food tags and labels designed by Jenn at Nickwilljack.

Jenn created the circle tags to fit 2" or 3" circle punches. And the food labels have text boxes where you can type in your own text like "banana bread" or "cookies."  All the printables come in four colors: yellow, orange, red, and brown.

Plus, she included three bonus pages that say "Happy Holidays" so that you can use these for your winter holiday gifts as well.

Lori from Lori's Place, baker of some of the most beautiful decorated sugar cookies, just sent me the most adorable box of holiday treats. Thank you, Lori! I'm trying to save them until tomorrow, but my five-year-old daughter has other plans. We'll see how much willpower I have. :)

If you need beautiful decorated cookies, definitely check out Lori's Place.  She does beautiful work that I am continually showing off. Her shop is on vacation for the holidays, so definitely check back after the New Year.

I love how sweet these poinsettia gift box favors look and how they can work as both a favor and place card at your Christmas dinner.

Whenever I get crafty, I feel like a kid! So yesterday, I had a great day making homemade ornaments for our tree using my handy HP Printer (go here for our current HP printer giveaway) and some free downloads from the HP Creative Studio.

Take a look at what I made... (For the downloads, click on the photos.)

This paper snowball is my favorite. If you're going to make one, this is definitely the one to try.

Since we celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah at our house, I had to make this cute dreidel for my daughter (It actually works).

These were really easy to do. I just needed some glossy brochure paper, a pair of good scissors, a glue stick, a hole punch, and some ribbon. If you're looking for some fun ornaments, holiday cards, and decoration, check out the HP Creative Studio. There's a lot to explore.

I'm so into hot cocoa bars this year because they're warm, tasty, inexpensive, and best of all... unexpected. Stealing from the traditional ice cream bar idea, a hot cocoa bar is where you set out cups of hot cocoa (or a carafe) and a selection of toppings and let your guests go to town.

For kids, I recommend putting out a variety of candy toppings (flavored marshmallows, crushed peppermint, M&Ms, etc.), and for adults, you can kick it up a notch by putting out some delicious liqueurs. Take a look at some of these fantastic ideas we've seen.

Paula from Frog Prince Paperie puts an elegant spin on her hot cocoa bar with an assortment of hot chocolates on a stick.

Kori from Paper & Pigtails calls her hot cocoa, "snowman's soup," and creates a whole party around it, including giving out snowman's soup hot cocoa as party favors.

Amanda from Shindig Parties to Go creates this hot cocoa bar for her Candy Christmas Party with a lot of DIY details including that dapper snowman.

Smita from The Party Wall creates a Winter Warmer Party in hues of blue and silver with a  hot cocoa bar featuring flavored vanilla and hazelnut syrups. Yum.

I hope to show off more of your hot cocoa bars this winter. Stay warm and have fun!
