This is an inventive attractive gift for men. Usually, women are the ones who carry around pictures of the family. Well, with this gift, a man gets the chance to creatively have pictures of those who mean the most to him. He can wear them as regular cuff links and know his family is with him everywhere he goes. An ideal gift for a father or grandfather. Each locket, which measures at 3/4″ diameter, has space for two small pictures, so he will be able to carry up to four pictures when he wears these cuff links.

The cuff links can be personalized with a single initial engraved on the front of each locket. The Round Locket Cuff Links are available in sterling silver or 14k gold vermeil. These unique cuff links will allow him a new way to show off his beautiful loved ones. He can easily open his cuff links to show them off, or anytime he is on the go and missing his family he can steal a glance and see his family.

Who doesn’t like cookies? Cookies can make such a great personal gift, especially home-made ones, Yummy!!!

But when you want to put a neat little twist on them, give the gift of the mix and they can cook it when they get ready. Sometimes you get cookies and you don’t have the time or the appetite at the time to eat them. This way your cookie gift can be stored and cooked at a later time. You will be giving them the cookie mix, the add ins, and the recipe.

Mix Ingredients

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

2 1/2 cups sugar

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

Ingredient Directions

Sift all dry ingredients together. Put these combined ingredients in a ziploc bag. Also, place separate bags of the add-ins; nuts, chocolate chips, and raisins aside. Place all the bags in a decorative sealed container. Write or print the following recipe on a notecard or a decorative card and tape to the inside lid of the container.

Cookie recipe to write or print up

Preheat Over 375°

Beat 2 cups of softened butter, 2 eggs and 2 tsp of vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix in cookie mix and blend thoroughly. Separate dough and use add-ins that you choose for your cookies. Shape dough into small round balls and place on lightly greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

You can either wrap the decorative container up in wrapping paper or you can give just the container. Everything will be inside the container so either way will be great. It just depends on your choice.

If you are like me, you love to do creative things and give them as gifts. I consider myself artsy and I have made this Beta Plant craft as gifts for many of my friends, who all loved it. It is so simple to do, and inexpensive. The items you are going to need are: 1 beta fish, a clear glass vase, a plastic cup or saucer (can be purchased at most garden stores), small decorative rocks or glass, a plant, beta food (tropical fish food) and 1 gallon of drinking water. The plant you choose can be peace lily, photos, or philodendrons.

     1st thing you do is choose a beta fish, I like to pick out the color of fish I want so I can match it with my plants and rocks. Once you get home with all your supplies, you need to clean the vase and rocks in water. You also need to clean the plant and the roots, you can do this with a water hose outside or in the sink once you have knocked off all excess dirt. After this is done, you will most likely have to split the plant into pieces to ensure a proper fit into the vase. So you could make more with the remaining halves of the plant, if you wanted.

     Now all the cleaning is done, here comes the fun part. Cut a small hole in the bottom of the saucer. You need the hole big enough for the roots to fit through and still allow air into the bottom. Now place the roots through the hole in the saucer and place saucer into the neck of the vase to make sure it fits properly. If needed, for personal preference, you can trim the roots to make them look neater.

     Carefully, remove the saucer with plant so you can finish up. Add about an inch and a half of rocks or glass to the bottom of the vase. Make sure your water is room temperature and add it to the vase, leave about an inch below the neck of the vase to provide air for the fish. Yes, beta’s are air breathers…imagine, that .

     Gently pour the fish into the vase filled with water. I always give him some food now, just to keep him happy and calm from the move. You should only have to feed him once a week. Now, place the saucer with plant back into the neck of the vase. Check to make sure everything looks fine and there is enough room for the beta to swim around with the roots.

     If you are happy with the way it all looks, add some rocks to the saucer to help keep the saucer and plant in place, and to make it look prettier . Leave room for a small straw to poke through lid, to allow for feeding the beta. Now you are all done. Add ribbons or bows around the neck of the vase and you have your gift!
