    Most older women don't need more decorative items. I would say a small box of candy.

    How about spring seeds?

    For my wedding renewal I gave seed bombs. They are little balls made with

    • Natural clay – you can find this at most stores that carry art supplies.
    • Top soil – pick this up at any gardening shop.
    • Regionally appropriate seeds
    • A bowl of water – you probably have a pretty good idea of where to find this…

    Take a small amount of clay and combine it with some soil in whatever ratio is necessary for everything to stick together and form a quarter-sized ball. If it’s too dry, add a little bit of water. The mixture should be damp, but not dripping wet. Add just a few seeds and use your fingers to thoroughly work them into the clay and soil mixture. Really stick with only 3 to 5 seeds per ball, because if you add too many they won’t have enough soil and clay to grow. If you’re working with large seeds it’s OK for them to end up near the ball’s core. If you’re working with smaller seeds, try to keep them nearer to the surface.

    Roll the ball between your palms until it forms a nice, smooth, quarter-sized sphere and… Voila! You have yourself a seed bomb ! Time to set it aside and repeat these steps until you have enough seed balls to share with all your friends.


    When you’re distributing your seed balls, try to toss them onto well-lit patches of soft dirt where there aren’t already a lot of other plants, as that’s where they really tend to thrive. If you want to plant them in a grassy part of your yard, scratch up the dirt a bit before you set them down.

    That’s it! You now know everything you need to know to make and distribute native or other plant seed balls. The resulting native plants and wildflowers will strengthen the local ecosystem and provide habitat for important pollinators, and to add beauty to our enviroment.


    These really do work and just take minutes to make.

    I thought of that. I make Easter candy that a good idea. But what about those who do not ear candy? Because they have sugar I know we have a few.
