Yes Janan, you can definitely scent the candles and I've done it with the melted wax ones I've made, but not the bee's wax ones.

You could definitely smear oil on the bee's wax sheets though before rolling them and this would give a great scent to them. I thought you might be into candles too, so that's kinda cool.

If you make a bundle of candles as a gift for someone, or even just a pair of them, you can use nice colored ribbons to tie around them...a nice touch.

Wow, your wreaths sound spectacular Janan! How decorative and creative. I like making my own wreaths too because you can change them each year with different things on them.

Gingerbread houses also make great gifts, that people really enjoy. They are inexpensive to make & oodles of fun!

In the past too, I was really into making jewelery with beautiful stones and beads (obtained from wal-mart & craft stores) that you could loop on a string and make a necklace or a bracelet. My young niece used to come over all the time and she'd want me to make her beaded jewelery, for her and her friends.

So many cool gift ideas. Looking forward to hearing more...
