Well, allow me to inspire you with these forcing paper white bulbs printable gift tags for a gift giving idea. This gift idea is so inexpensive, but truly beautiful to give and receive.
Years ago – well, actually decades I was given the gift of paper white bulbs in a small flower pot. I really didn’t think much about it, until I started to see them grow. It truly gave me a thrill to come home each day after work to see how much they grew. I’ve given many a gift of paper white bulbs since then, and I actually can’t believe this is the first time I’m blogging about giving them as a gift.
You can find the bulbs at your local garden center, a box store or online for anywhere from .99 cents – $1.99 per bulb. They’re the easiest and fastest things to grow. Basically you get a lot of bang for your buck when you force paper white bulbs to bloom and grow during the Winter months.
You just need to add the bulb to a flower pot of moist potting soil. Drop 1-2 bulbs in each flower pot, and cover with a thin layer of green moss. Water often, and place in direct sun. They’ll grow really fast – you’ll truly have a “Thrill of Hope” while watching them grow.
