In today’s world, people buy what they need, with no regard to waiting til their birthday or Christmas. Therefore, when it is time for gift giving, there is typically no real need at hand.
It does the heart good to be a gift giver, so here is an idea that anyone can put together as a gift and will be well received.
Potpourri you put together yourself can be made with a citrus or flowery scent, as you desire. Here is a nice recipe for a fruity scent:
Gather up the following:
- Glass jars
- Coffee Filter – natural or white
- Raffia
- cinnamon sticks
- dried lemon, orange and apple slices
- 1/2 cup whole cloves
- 1 tbs nutmeg
- 1/4 cup whole allspice
- 1 tbs bay leaf pieces
If you have a dehydrator, dry the fruit yourself for an even more personal gift. Mix everything together and place in cute jar with the coffee filter tied on as a cover. At anytime, the contents can be boiled in water to fill the home with fresh, sweet smelling aroma.

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment

I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for novice blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
