For those who may, like me, have started late in the year & wish to craft a few items for holiday presents, here are a few sites & tips. There isn't time for much, but these can get you going. Next year we'll start in July, right?
Make an herbal tea basket for your tea loving friends. Mine include:
- Goddess teacup
- 3 home designed artisan teas
- vanilla sugar
- lavender honey (just put 1/4 c lavender into 1 cup honey & stir daily for 2 weeks, then strain)
- lemon balm honey (same as above, but I only used 2 Tbsp fresh lemon balm)
- 3 flowering teas
- tea strainer
Make a portable altar for your witchy friend (I made mine from an old tea tin):
- Decorated box
- Feather (air)
- Lava bead or rock (fire)
- Pentacle or stone (earth) or vial of dirt/sand
- Shell or vial of spring water (water)
- Mini battery-operated candles - black, white or both depending on friend's practices
- Lighter & small sage bundle or smudging spray
- Small terminated crystal (can be used as a wand)
- Mini goddess statue or other deity
- Handkerchief (altar cloth)
You get the idea...just get crafting, and don't forget to tuck a bit of magick into each present.
