Teacher's Gifts

Today we discovered that 

my favorite candle company

Woodwicks makes minis.

They come with a very mini price point

but a whopping big aroma.

We bought a vanilla cake scent.

I've mentioned in past posts how much I love

these candles with their wooden wicks

that make a crackling sound

like a fire.

It's super special to me

because the fireplace in our house

is not operable and I long for

the feeling of a cozy,

roaring fire place

to snuggle up in front of.

This is like a little piece of that for me.

So we decided that these tiny little 

candles with their intoxicatingly 

delicious scents would make 

a lovely little gift for

the teachers.

We went to Richard's to doctor them up

just a little.

With one sheet of Christmas

label stickers we were

able to personalize

each one and make

them a bit more 

festive.

I had this ribbon already in the creamy gold. 

I bought the roll of chocolate brown

so that we could mix it up.

This ribbon is extra wide, extra sparkly,

and lasts forever.

I use it for everything.

Step one.

Step two.

Then we fluffed them up a little,

twisty tied a mini ornament

around a clear plastic bag.

I think they look 

adorable.

I'd be so happy if a

student gave me 

something like this.

I wish I could brag about how inexpensive these

gifts were but I know that some of the

kids' teachers read my blog.

So I must keep that under wraps,

but I do want to encourage 

everyone that it doesn't 

take a lot of money 

to give a very

thoughtful,

pretty

gift.
