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.
