Would you be happy with this for a gift?

Thanks for all the nice words. I got most of it done this weekend. It took me 3 tries to get the Beeswax Lip Balm right - I was to tired of filling tubes then empting them back into the bowl to add more oil

Oh well - the final product was good - I have it on now actually

This sounds like an absolutely wonderful gift!! So many people love homemade things because they just do not have the time or talent to make them themselves and I find most people really appreciate them!

I did that last year and it went over so well I'm doing something similar this Yule. My baskets will have homemade breads , cookies, hand crocheted dish clothes , homemade soap and some wooden spoons, cookie cutters.
Kitchen theme this year.

That sounds like a really wonderful gift!

The only thing I could think of 'spa'-wise to add would be a little scented votive, which are not too expensive. I would probably purchase those, as getting into candle making can quickly become expensive and addicting. And maybe also adding a couple tea bags or something similar to go with the fudge(which sounds SOOO delightful btw).

But honestly, I think it is pretty perfect the way you have it already! I am sure your gifts will be very well received and very much appreciated.
