What's the best homemade Christmas present?
Looking for ideas on a specail gift for my female friend but cant be purchased as she doesnt think its from the geart. 2nd this is for those that have fireplaces n the wood gets wet n great for camp furers n bbq grills. We all have candles that are to small to use n most of us know wood workers ask them for the saw dust. Melt the candles n use an old cup cake pan n line it with cup cake papers n fill them with saw dust n pour the melted candle wax over the saw dust cakes n let ut harden n wow now u got a second chance for the candles n wood dust n ni gas or lighter fuuld to start ones fires.

Good tip !!!
As for homemade gift for female friend, it depends on what her likes and interests are. But as to wha I think is a tool proof gift... A decorated box !!! Everyone can use a nice box for storing things !!! It can be small or fairly large.. For my mother I bought a plain wooden box from Michael's , the I bought several tubes of seed beads that were on clearance, in colors I knew she liked , beige, cream , & light brown..Then I spread glue in irregular swirls and poured one color of beads on the blue , let it dry and glued and poured beads until it was covered, it came out really nice ! For my sister , I also bought a wood box from Michael's a larger one than my moms, painted it. Then I had tons of older keys ( not skeleton keys , lol, I use them for my jewelry) I spray painted them a couple of colors then glued them on the box, it came out very unique ! What's nice about a box as a gift is that you can always put a small token gift in it as well.

If you know what kind of cookies or candy she likes, buy a tall jar or use a Mason jar. Paint the base or bottom fourth of the jar in her favorite color. Add ribbon and tie a bow, again, in her favorite or second favorite color. If she likes Strawberry Twizzlers, M&Ms, and Hershey’s White Chocolate Kisses, cut the Twizzlers into three inch pieces, mix all the candy in a bowl, and fill the jar. Save any extra for Valentine’s Day. You could even put a few Rocher chocolates on top. Or a piece of jewelry! If there is a lid, decorate that! Best wishes, ☺️
