If you took advantage of the Target deal or are planning on picking up some candles for a good deal, how do you give them as gifts?
I typically use them as Teacher or Primary teacher gifts just to say “thank you” randomly throughout the year. As with any gift sometimes the presentation makes the entire gift! I feel a little guilty giving a candle or air freshener that cost me only $.20 I would never want to just give it “as is” so I try and dress it up!
I quickly printed off this morning a business card size, little message with my kids pictures on them. I just framed them with card stock and laminated it. Then punched a hole in the corner and added a little ring.
Next, use the little clear party bags, tie with some ribbon, add some kind of “greenery” and your little tag. I think it turned out much cuter than just sticking it in a bag, it took almost no time and cost me $.60 total with the candle!
For the kids taechers end of the year gift and Christmas gift I do more, but these are nice “thinking of you” or “thank you” gifts.
What ideas do you have for embellishing gifts?

Oh man, you’re good. I am so not creative like that but guess I’ll be coming up with something this Christmas!

That looks absolutely beautiful. I also love making these kinds of things – way more relaxing than what I have to do during the day with school and work!

This will be the first year we will have a child in school so thanks for the idea. Seriously, you would go broke if you didn’t give frugal gifts since you have so many!
