Here’s an idea for a present from you. Buy an inexpensive candle (pillar?) and some spray craft adhesive and WHITE glitter. Put a piece of newspaper down and pour some glitter on it, in a long row, the length of the candle. On another piece, spray the candle with adhesive. Holding the wick and bottom, roll it in the glitter and touch the candle top and bottom in the glitter. Set aside to dry for a day. (it doesn’t take that long, but I always give it a day) Then tap it a little and trim the wick once it’s in the gift bag.
You can make many candles cheaply once you buy the adhesive and glitter. It makes a lovely snow candle and burns nicely.

That’s a great idea. A variation on this I just thought of would be to use home made (self-made) candles for a possible candlelight dinner.

Now I just need to find the most elusive ingredient: a female companion. :-/ At least it’s an idea...

Great idea again something you can keep in reserve and if invited to last minute party take some for the guests there.
