For me it’s all about the packaging and presentation. I love taking a simple and affordable item like a candle and making a beautiful.
I often use the same packaging which makes it easy too! I love gable boxes which I get at Hobby Lobby for about a dollar. I add some tissue paper in the bottom then my gift jar and my favorite paper shred to make the packaging look customized and like it came from a boutique.

Hi there,
I love your Youtube videos! I am not able to print the tags from your latest gift in a jar video. The link appears to be broken. I was able to print the beer bread, chocolate chip cookie tag sheet option. Where am I able to print the latest tags for the Christmas jars you presented in the video?
Thank you in advance!

I love all your ideas! On the hot cocoa mix printable tag, is it possible to make these templates to include “add hot milk or water” instead of just “hot water”?
Hi! I’m so happy you enjoy these ideas! Right now I’m not changing them but you could right it on the tag. 🙂
Has anyone tried the hot cocoa recipe? The ingredient ratios did not seem right. Way too much cocoa in my opinion, or did I do something wrong? Any advice? (P. S., I love your videos, hands down the best)
Hi Molly! I have this same hot cocoa in on my hot cocoa bar right now and it’s delish! I’ve seen other recipes with the same or similar ratios as well. Feel free to use less unsweetened cocoa powder if you prefer. 🙂
