ding dong merrily on bloody high

My least favourite time of year approaches, and I look to one of my favourite things to try and keep off the annual Xmas blues - crappy craft. Obviously, Etsy is a source of awe and inspiration (and money wasting), but it also a hotbed of crappy craft. The most prominent examples of this can be found on the ever-disturbing Regretsy.com, which I am sure you know.

In a recent trawl, I came across one particular thing which stuck out as being totally non-crappy and fantastic, and I had to share - Christmas Goods Gift Claim Tags. I love these and what they are about, and if I had my own big family gathering to attend, I would snap them up (but I'll probably make up an excuse to get them anyway). They are such a great take on the big gifting ceremonies of Xmas morn, which I remember so fondly from the olden days.
