Washi tape decorated with antique perfume labels, in pink (left) and blue (right). $6.50 each at A Blank Note.

What to do with all those perfume samples? The Cambridge Imprint Christmas Cracker Kit: "​This kit contains everything needed to construct ten sumptuous crackers in a range of red Cambridge Imprint patterned papers, all contained in a really beautiful and robust Bright Red Oak Leaves box, lined in crimson, which is a gift in its own right. The kit comes complete with snaps and hats, and you can personalise the crackers with your own jokes (cards are included to write these on) and gifts that you have made or chosen yourself. Making the crackers is a fun project that young and old can collaborate on, and is particularly suitable for Christmas when there is time to gather around the kitchen table for this kind of group activity." £20.83 at Cambridge Imprint, but if you ship them overseas, they can't include the snaps.
