I’m all about the consumable gift. I really don’t need another generic Christmas ornament or statue. So, every year I strive to find a consumable gift that I can create for co-workers, extended family, or neighbors. I came upon this idea in several different places.
Supplies needed:
Oranges (I used the ones off my tree in the backyard)
Limes (Wish I still had my lime tree, but found a bag of limes at Walmart for less than $2)
Cloves (found in the spice aisle)
Bay leaves (found in the spice aisle
Whole Cinnamon Sticks (found in the spice aisle)
Quartz Size Resealable bags
Ribbon
Cardstock paper
Hole Puncher
Scissors
How to:
1. Place 1 orange, 1 lime, 2 bay leaves, 1 cinnamon stick and 5 cloves in each Resealable bag
2. Create tags that give the following directions:
Slice fruit and place all contents into a pot of boiling water. Turn down and simmer to create the smell of Christmas.
3. Cut out tags and hole punch in the corner
4. String ribbon through the tag
5. Tie ribbon and tag around top of Resealable bag to cinch it closed.

I recently was introduced to Stylefind.com from BzzAgent.
What is it?. This exclusively a fashion website. It was created by In Style Magazine to make it easy for shoppers to find the clothing and accessories they love all I one place. It features items from JC Penney to Bloomingdales to well known designers. The categories they feature are clothing, accessories, handbags, beauty and shoes.
Who would be most likely to use it? Anyone who loves to shop for women’s clothing and accessories. I didn’t find any men’s clothing or children’s clothing anywhere on the site, so sorry men! Prices range from cheap ($5.00) to really expensive (over $3000.00). So, if you’re looking for that gorgeous cocktail dress or want to try a new makeup brand, this is the site to start looking.
What do I like?
- You can select items you like and tell them to email you when the price drops.
- You can narrow down what you are looking for by size, color, brand, & price
-The wide variety of choices and prices.
So, now that you’ve read this, go toStyle Find and start shopping!
