I made this for my brother's 28th birthday. His birthday was a few days ago but I wanted to make sure he received the gift (I mailed it to him) before I posted it here. I learned my lesson about posting his gifts on my blog - at Christmas I posted something I made for him and he left a comment on my post. I had no clue he even looked at my blog. So if you're looking now - Hi Jeff!
I got the template for this from Papertrey Ink. It's one of Lauren Meader's timeless templates. You can find the template here. The template I used is the take along tote. I put a candy bar & a bag of m&m's in the front outside pocket. On the back pocket I put a bag of microwave popcorn. I put a Wii game in the middle of the tote. There is a pocket on the inside and I put a gift card for his favorite pizza delivery place in that pocket. Everything he needs for a "Wii night in"!

Wow - what a great gift!! I love this template, I can't believe all the space there is to hold things! I like the colors you used also, perfect for either a boy or a girl.
What a fab idea, I love it! I love the colours you've used too, it looks really good. I bet your brother was made up with that gift!
This is an awesome idea, and is executed so well! I love it!!!
I love it! I think those are the best kind of gifts! Will you adopt me? lol
I wish I was your brother lol That is a "way cool" gift. Love it! And once again I have to say brilliant Heidi! The colors are fabulous. You added the perfect combo for any guy. chocolate and pizza. Thanks for always sharing such creative projects.

I'm familiar with Lauren and Papertrey, Inc. but have never tried one of the templates. Love what you did with it.
I love this, especially the stars and the patterned paper you chose. Your brother is one lucky lad! ;)
Very nicely done, Heidi. I bet your brother loved it. I like to give little combo gifts like this. I'll have to try this idea - much more creative than a plain ol' bag. :) TFS!
This is amazing Heidi ... right down to the stars! I love it and I think it's adorable that your brother looks at your blog.
Heidi, this is your brother. I was unaware of the whole "package" theme. I immediately ate the m&ms and the chocolate bar. I will have to take a picture of myself playing Wii Ski on the Wii Fit. Thanks for the presents.
Bro Jeff
What a fantastic way to present a gift. From what you have told me your bro enjoys your work very much.
