What a fabulous giveaway! I would use my bakers twine to make a fun banner for a baby shower we are throwing in a few months! I think the twine would make it "pop"!

Very extraordinary. I would use bakers twine like so: I would make classic chocolate chip cookies. I would then let them cool. I would take each one, and fold parchment paper over them, then seal each with an embossed sticker. Then, I would tie the little cookie together like a baby package with the twine. So, for say a gift I idea, I would have a giant box filled with individually tied cookies. Then, the entire giant box would be tied together beautifully with more bakers twine. Simple, elegent, earthy, and beautiful!

i secretly hope i get you for the package exchange so i can incorporate this yarn i found this weekend that looks just like the baker's twine. but this would make a great finishing touch for handmade goodies!

These are awesome. I would use them for gift wrapping. And, anything else I could think of. =)

Thanks for the chance.

Well Michael, I know exactly what I would do with the baker twine...Ask my dad, he's a baker, and then do that. Or if it isnt a good a idea just play some cats cradle.

Love the spindles! I'd put all 3 in a glass terrarium on my bookshelf because they're neat to look at, and I'd take them out for gift wrapping and maybe even trussing up a turkey or a prosciutto wrapped pork loin when I finally get a kitchen!

oh! you have the best giveaways! I think it would be neat to string up some baker's twine like a garland and add little clothes pins to clip on some vintage postcards. Thanks again for the chance!

Thanks for commenting on my blog and I could not resist your amazing giveaway! The jam sounds awesome, and oh how I love the spindles! I would love you use the varieties of twine for product packaging, perhaps another gift.

Glad to find your blog!

The baker's twine is so versatile-- useful and beautiful at the same time! I would use it to package some of my "signature sparkly cranberry scones" I like to give as gifts. :) Thanks for the chance to win!

These are gorgeous! I would love to use the twine to wrap up baked goods, truss my turkey for Thanksgiving and use the spindles for decorating!! The jams would be so yummy too, I would love to try the Blueberry Pineapple, YUM! I'm a self confessed Jam-oholic!

I would use that twine on EVERYTHING! Although it looks wonderful on those spindles. The jams sound great as well.

I would use the baking twine and spindles simultaneously for baking and for decorative purposes. They would perfectly complement these antique yarn spools in our dining area that I turned into candlesticks. And I would love to try these jams. We're really enjoying the strawberry rhubarb variety that we bought from you about a month ago.

I would use this pretty twine to attach gift cards, and decorate pretty little presents! The jams sound so delish, I hope I win! Thanks for the chance :)e

I would use the twine to attach my easter eggs to my tree outside for my easter decor. They would look so much prettier than curling ribbon. The jam does sound wonderful. Love your site and your blog!
