Gift Packs
By ekpeach in General | 2 comments
I have cut out and put together a gift pack made of wood that looks like an old timey apple crate. It has 2 kinds of honey in salt and pepper shakers that look like pint jars with handles. I also put into the pack 4 candles, 2 molded and 2 wrapped with foundation. All this is set on a bed of Easter Egg grass. I put a description card on the outside of the box then, using food grade plastic Cling Wrap, I enclosed the whole box. Makes some nice Christmas gifts. I sell these for the different holidays.
There are several ways to make money with your products. For this one item, I made it big enough that a person can use the box for audio tape storage and can be used in the car. I have one in use as a medicine container. I have one customer that lined the inside so she could use it as a jewelry catchall.
You can change the contents any way to make different gift packs. Use beeswax soap, homemade lip balm, scented candles, or a mixture of these. The possibilities are open to your imagination.
This would be a good time to make a list of what you would like to try in the future. Place the list on the fridge so you can add to it.

Hey Peaches,
We met in Winter Haven last month and I really enjoyed talking to you there. Will you be going to Sacraments next month?
I will “bee” there!

Beth, I don’t think I can make it to Sacramento at this time. My wife just had surgery and I need to stick around for a while. I wish I could go, but…
We’ll get together someday and have another discussion about bees and honey. Enjoy the National Convention.
