Perhaps you are like me and enjoy giving people gifts but really hate spending money. If you are like me, you will also have been blessed with the ability to craft like a motherfucker.

I made this candle garden (?) for my godparents for Christmas. I just bought candles at the dollar store, bay leaves at the mercado and (I'm going to be honest here) shoplifted raffia from Hobby Lobby. Glue the leaves to the candles, tie it beautifully, maybe add some embellishments, and you have a nice gift for roughly $6.
