A handmade gift works when the person would have bought something like it. Start now. Drying, curing, and second coats all take days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideas to try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • Sugar scrub in a small jar.<\/li>
  • Cookie mix layered in a mason jar, with the tag that says how to bake it.<\/li>
  • A wrapped candle.<\/li>
  • Painted wooden-slice ornaments, two or three on a ribbon.<\/li>
  • A stack of the child’s art, tied as a booklet.<\/li>
  • Herb salt in a jar, if you cook.<\/li>
  • A knitted or no-knit yarn wreath for a neighbour.<\/li>
  • Printed place cards as a host set, bundled with twine.<\/li>
  • Bath salts.<\/li>
  • A hot cocoa kit: cocoa, marshmallows, and a cinnamon stick in a jar.<\/li>
  • A paper snowflake mobile.<\/li>
  • A coupon for one studio visit, if they have kids. Book it on the events page so the date is real.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
