As the year comes to an end, and the holiday season quickly approaches, most of us are bombarded with gift exchanges and secret santas that must be. For any person you may need a gift for, here's a list to help you out:
1. Succulent Pots
In order to make one, put tape in a shape (as a triangle) on a painted pot and paint the inside of the lines of tape with metallic paint. Once satisfied, peel the paint off and let it dry.
2. A Sugar Scrub
Take a jar and put in 3 cups of sugar and 1 cup of oil. After it's mixed thoroughly, add in some extract (such as peppermint or vanilla) for a nice tasting (and smelling) scrub!
3. A Confetti Dish (or Bowl)
Take a clean ceramic bowl and dab a pen from a gold leaf pen kit (it can be found at Michael's) and let dry for around 10 minutes. Afterwards, take the gold leaf sheets and lay the leaf sheet on top of the places where you put the pen (metallic side facing up). Then, lightly rub it onto the surface so it sticks and then remove the paper backing of it. Take a soft brush and lightly go over the metallic leaf sheets (it'll rub off the extra paper). If you want to, you can spray it with sealant so it doesn't come off.
4. Lip Balm
Put 1 tbsp of beeswax, 2 tbsp of shea butter and almond or coconut oil, and 2 drops of essential oil and 3 drops of a different essential oil in a heat safe bowl above the stove. Heat it until it becomes liquid-like and clear and put in a few drops of color if you want to. Afterwards, pour it into a small container and let it cool.
5. Root Beer Reindeer
Wrap brown pipe cleaners below the cap and shape them like antlers on the bottle. Then, put some sticky googly eyes and a red pom pom on the actual bottle for eyes and a nose of the reindeer.
