If you ever go to a thrift store and see a plate like this for $.59. Buy it.

Then wait till you need to take someone a little treat to thank them for being so great.

String it with fun polka dot ribbon.

And wa-la you have a great little "happy" to give away.

And if they have two buy both.

those plates are darling with the ribbons and all. Such a great idea. Wish I knew where to go to find such things here. I just have not taken that opportunity yet. There have to be some treasures somewhere.....

Totally adorable! I need to go look for plates that would do the trick...

Love your brain! What a super find for .59, no way you could pass THAT up. I have one (that was so not .59) that I write scriptures or special wishes on in my kitchen. I like to change the ribbon out with the holidays too. You are very generous to give your finds away--I can't part with mine. :)

I love love love plates like that. I have a little collection hanging on the wall. I have even more that can't fit on the wall in my cupboard. $.59 is such a steal!
