the Story of Get Togethers

I was re-photographing (ok, re-re-photographing) my Get Together cards today, and remembered why I made them in the first place...

Last Christmas I bought a gift certificate to a restaurant here in Philadelphia to give to a friend—we like brunch. I thought the gift card packaging was a little generic, so I threw it away and made a little card (hey let's get brunch sometime) to slip the certificate into, and then popped both into a little envelope together.

I've been pretty focused on holiday cards lately, but realized today that these little Get Together guys would probably make pretty good gifts! Kind of like those coupon books you'd make for your parents promising to do chores or something (yeah right)—but this is more like coupons to go out together! Or just substitutes for boring gift card envelopes.

And how cute would they look in a stocking!

with envelopes! OR a larger version!
