I have been working on this hostess gift for a little while, the dish is in fabulous shape and my pride and joy from a thrift expedition a few weeks ago. I know the Art Nouveau flowers will compliment nicely the recipients other treasures. The bath bombs are freshly put together and come in three scents. I added no oatmeal this time so they can be used in a jetted tub without fear of weird mold or anything.
I just love making hostess gifts (recent inner self discovery). It's all about putting different things together, some bought, some made and thinking of the gift-ee while creating a lovely package.
The tag reads in French a casual "for You". If you feel compelled to make your own and need a little formality write "Pour Vous" instead. As this card is for a family member that would be a little much! French is very specific when it comes to addressing people formally, it's a great relief living here in the West not to have to worry about such things. When the height of polite address is adding Ma'am at the end of a sentence you know you are most likely on safe grounds anytime.

Your calligraphy skills really add a beautiful touch to your thoughtful gift. I hope your family member loved it! I LOVE the piece of paper you photographed the gift on top of. Is that your writing? Or a piece of tissue paper or something else? So beautiful.

Hi!
The paper is tissue paper that recently wrapped something from tabula rasa the store in
Trolley square.
