Let’s say you’ve selected the perfect gift for the gardener on your list.  Really personalize it by making your own bow and adding an embellishment like a gardening Christmas ornament to the bow.  Or incorporate a pair of gardening gloves into the bow or even a small garden trowel.  See how fun it can be to dress up the package with personalized embellishments added to your own homemade bows?
