3. Craft a Candle & Add These Candle Gift Tags

Get crafty, and create a unique DIY candle that you can gift your neighbor. Here’s a quick and easy how-to: 

  • Melt soy candle wax in a double boiler for 10–15 minutes.
  • Add your favorite essential oil scent to the wax once melted. 
  • Glue a wick to the bottom of your candle container and let it dry. 
  • Remove wax from the stove, and let it cool slightly before pouring it into your heat-safe container. 
  • Pour in your wax, and let sit for about four hours until the surface is firm.
  • Cut down your wick so it’s half an inch from the surface of the candle.

Once your candle is finished, place it in a bag and tie it off with these one of these cheery gift tags! This will be sure to brighten your neighbor’s day.
