If you can also find nice little dishes/plates, you have the makings of a great little hostess gift. With the small clear pyrex ones you collect, painting patterns on the back using glass paint, or by making a nice rim, you could make really nice personalized gifts (I also like to decopauge fabric and papers onto the back of those clear pieces).<BR/><BR/>By simply buying a small round of cheese or a section of brie and putting it on the plate with one spreader, and then wrapping it in crisp cellophane with a nice bow and tag... you have an easy little hostess gift.<BR/><BR/>Since cheese spreaders usually come in packs of four, and because single small plates/saucers are easy to find -- and a piece of cheese can be gotten for only a couple of bucks... this is a cheap and quick task. The spreaders are also nice when tied to a jar of jam, fudge, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26313972.post-1163623860419871872006-11-15T15:51:00.000-05:002006-11-15T15:51:00.000-05:00OH the BEST time to get Christmas stuff at Target ...OH the BEST time to get Christmas stuff at Target is AFTER the sales ARE amazing!!

You can buy stryofoam toparies for about $2 and huge fluffy white feather boa for about $5. Add some silk pins for $1.50 and you have a tree. The only problem? Time!
