    I love the battery idea

    Last year i made Journalling Jars and decorated note books.

    This is also quite good. I got a net bag and put in it a candle, a eraser, a penny, a marble, a piece of string and a small teddy bear and tie a card on it with this message.


    We all have days when we feel a bit blue
    But this bag contains things to help you through
    The eraser to rub out mistakes with one wipe
    A candle to light up the gloomiest night
    Cash when you feel your backs to the wall
    A marble to make sure you don’t lose them all
    String to stop everything falling apart
    And a hug full of warmth that comes straight
    From the heart.

    Poem:

    Sometimes it seems we lose our way and life becomes so blue.
    You think you've lost your "marbles" and others suspect it's true.
    But in spite of all the odds my friend,
    life can be wonderful too.
    Just remember, that no matter what,
    I'm always here for you.
    So when you think you've lost them all;
    pull out my gift to you.
    It may be small, and only one
    but you haven't lost them all!!!
    Love this will definitely be make more than a few of these.

    This site has several recipes for homemade treat gifts...

    CHOCOLATE SPOONS

    Get some good quality plastic spoons to start with... Try using gold or silver ones, clear is OK too. Also find some good quality chocolate and different tracts/liquors to make the spoons different flavours/colours. There is no end to the flavours you can come up with. Melt chocolate till it is liquid, watch out that it doesn't scorch . . . you can do this in the microwave. Add extract or liquor of choice (almond extract, Frangelica, peppermint, anise,Kalhua etc.). Then just dip the spoon into the chocolate . . . and lay the spoons with their handles over the edge of a wax paper lined cookie sheet till set. You can drizzle white chocolate in a design over dark or milk chocolate . . . or dip 1/2 of spoon in dark and 1/2 in while best flavours mocha, mint, plain, raspberry. Don't just dip lightly -- you want a nice puddle in the spoon part and part way up the handle.

    I wrap these in clear plastic bags tied with raffia and a tag stating the flavour. These are marvellous with coffee or cocoa and make enough so each family member gets 2 spoons each. They will clamour for more!!! Other things you can dip into chocolate and put in gift baskets:

    * Salted Pringles (only half),
    * Chocolate chip cookies (only half)

    Use a clean new small paint brush and paint the mixture on the back side of freshly washed, dry leaves (rose, camellia work well). after chocolate has dried gently peel off the leaf and enjoy your chocolate leaf.

    CANDIED TEA STIRRERS

    * Vegetable cooking spray
    * 34 pieces fruit flavoured hard candy--crushed--lemon, cinnamon etc.
    * 2 TBS. light corn syrup
    * heavy weight plastic spoons

    Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Spray with cooking spray. In a small heavy saucepan combine crushed candies and corn syrup and melt over low eat stirring frequently.

    Spoon candy into bowl of each spoon. Place spoons on prepared cookie sheet with handles on rims and spoons level. Allow to harden. Store in air tight container.

    A large box with a label saying "Unfinished furniture".

    Inside the box is a branch, leaves and all!

    Here is a site with loads of those jar mixes... all the dry ingredients in a jar... Altho, I'm sure they all use American measurements, so might be less useful
