Sweet Gift Kits

The customer wrote on her order form that this set of hand-embroidered kitchen towels were going to her best friend. She wanted the towels gift-wrapped and shipped directly to her best friend with a lovely card telling her how much she was loved.

Now that I have a working apiary, I keep a supply of small honey containers ready to include in these special custom gifts. In this case, I had small containers of honey and creamed honey so I added one of each. I also included a small wooden honey dipper.

If you want to make your own sweet gift kits, you will find some of these small Bluebird Gardens honey containers at Three Sisters Resale and Consignment at 713 Pine Street, downtown Rolla. Along with the various sizes of honey containers, you will also find wooden honey dippers, buzzing toy bees, a beekeeper’s gift kit and even a copy of my autographed book “A Beekeeper’s Diary Self-Guide to Beekeeping” so you can make your own sweet gift kits.

What’s even better is that you may find just the right gift items to go in your custom sweet gift kits. Krista keeps a supply of baskets you can fill to make a custom sweet gift kit from her collection of new and vintage items.

With Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Grandparent’s Day coming up, stop by to find custom gifts for your loved ones to make your own sweet gift kits. She will have a vintage day in June and has new items coming in daily.

If this is the first time you are making your own sweet gift kits, try finding something fun, something practical and something delicious:

• A porcelain teacup and saucer with a variety of teas, honey and a spoon, and a fun book to read.

• Kitchen towels with a vintage cookbook and jar of honey.

• A lovely book of photos with a coffee cup and jar of honey.

You can find interesting items at Three Sisters Resale and Consignment and make your own!
