In keeping with the Earth Day theme, I’ve chosen an item I thought would make an nice gift from a company called Greenfeet. Greenfeet is an online retailer that offers natural and earth-friendly products.
They have a nice gift section and I was particularly drawn to these mini honeypot luminaries (different sizes and styles are available). Each luminary is handcrafted from beeswax with real, dried botanicals embedded into the shell and then signed. There are ten different flower and leaf options to choose from so these make a great gift for men or women! They are beautiful even when unlit, but light the tealight candle inside and it is transformed into a softly glowing light. Quite beautiful!
This is such an easy idea and you can personalize it in so many ways. Really. Your imagination is the limit here. All you really need is a deck of cards, a magic marker (unless you decide to use your printer), a hole punch and a way to hold the cards together (like pretty ribbon or one or more binder rings). You can add embellishments with magazine pictures, adhesive gems, stickers, construction paper, things you print from your computer, etc. If you add paper embellishments you may need to add a glue stick to your list. You can get these supplies at many retailers (Target, CVS, Walgreens, etc.) but they may be less expensive to purchase at a craft store.

When you compare the cards, each of the four things either has to be completely the same or completely different. The rules are really that simple but the game gives your brain a workout! You really have to scan the cards and try to quickly ascertain if there is a “set” on the board or not.
This game got five stars on Amazon and it is no wonder. I was looking for a game that could be as good for two players or a group of people so that we could play it alone or when we had friends over and I did …read more
