A neat, quick candy idea is chocolate covered marshmellows. Mmmm, Mmmm I also make peanut butter cups I'm making some soy candles again this year. It's neat when you can double the candle into two gifts. Like for my sister and hub I made red wine glass candles, that way when the candles were done they could actualy use the wine glasses. Soy wax washes right of with hot soapy water. You could do retro jelly jar glasses, shot glasses, small flower pots (might want to line them with waxed paper if their clay). Sox wax is super easy to work with
I've made a few decoupage nug jars and tins but I've managed to pick up alot of amazing candle holders for next to nothing at Salvation Army too. I found a great candelabra that I'm going to string some funky beads and such to. Some brand new pillar candles there too for a dollar each at most. So many peeps on my list are getting a candle holder and some mad random candles at least. Salvation Army has been my salvation to great presents for next to nothing.
