White wood trays with acrylic inserts accented by football field liners and topped with a football-shaped bowl, easy snack nut recipe, plastic cups and a bag of pigskin chocolates kicked off the theme at the center of the table.

Pampering Gift -- Tumbled Marble Coasters
4 - 4” x 4” tumbled marble tiles
stamps (we used
Stazon permanent ink pad
3/8” adhesive felt dots
matte acrylic sealer
To prepare tiles for stamping clean all surfaces with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Stamp images on tile and set by blow drying with either a heat embosser or hair dryer. Apply one felt dot to each corner on bottom of tile. After images are dry, spray a light coat of acrylic to seal. Tie coasters into a bundle with ribbon or twine.
