CANDY IS DANDY
Turn an inexpensive pencil or empty box into
a sweet gift,
opposite.
Cover the box with
decorative paper. Hot-glue a ribbon along the
bottom and lid, leaving a small loop on the
front top edge for a handle. Fill the finished box
with bite-size Pistachio and Dried Cherry Nougat
in small candy cups.
BOTTLED UP
Thyme and Orange Vinegar,
right,
is a no-fuss
gift for coworkers, teachers, and neighbors.
Dress it up by wrapping ribbon around the
length of the bottle and then around the neck,
creating a collar. Make the coordinated tag by
gluing leaf shapes, available at scrapbooking
and crafts stores, to a colored label; attach
with ribbon.
