Christmas Candleholder

Materials needed:

Baby Food Jar (emptied and washed out)
Paint
Ribbon
Tea light candle
Paintbrush

Directions:

Empty out and wash jar.
Tie ribbon around the top, but back from the edge so flame can't reach it.

Put a small tea light inside.
Give as a gift! (can add in extra tea lights)

Heat and Eat Dinners

Give a Meal

Many people don't necessarily need more things, but would instead appreciate some home-cooked meals. A great gift idea is to prepare and freeze complete meals in microwavable containers and deliver them with hand-made notes or labels! This is particularly great for seniors, new moms, or for families that are having a hard time making ends meet. What a personal and thoughtful gift in this busy holiday season!
