I need cute, creative, personal christmas gifts for my 3 best friends. Any ideas?
We’ve been best friends now for 4 years. We have a lot of memories, a lot of pictures, a lot of inside jokes. Last year I made them little personalized photo albums. I dont have a lot of money, but I can still spend some.
You can get candle and soap making kits at most craft stores for very cheap and for around $10-$15 each. One kit will make several candles. You can personalize these in a number of ways. If it a jar candle wrap a photo or printed phrase around the outside and secure it with a square of laminating paper (self sticking), which is about $5-10 for a pack of several sheets.
A pillar candle can have the same things wrapped around and then be dipped in clear parafin wax to secure it. The picture will not catch fire.
I use old cans to melt wax although most kits come with everything you need.
This can easily get you 3-5 gifts for under $20 total and you’ll learn a new skill.
