Step 1: Mix your everyday white dishes with plastic plates to add a perfect pop of color. These happy polka dots are a small investment and add a wealth of color and design.

 

Step 2: Colored bandanas can double as holiday napkins. Add a batch of store-bought greenery and tie them up with ribbon or string to add a festive accent.

 

Step 3: A tiny book, clever quote, or homemade candy can prove to be a sweet memory and lovely take away. Don’t forget to sign each and add the date!
