With only forty more days until Christmas Eve, we are approaching peak holiday shopping season. This year, consider giving earth-based holiday gifts. For family and friends who travel the same spiritual path, gift them with ingredients and spells packed in decorated tins, bottles, and jars. For those who follow a different path, gift them with ingredients for baking or cooking, along with recipes, all packed in festive reusable containers. Let your creativity flow!

If you have always created your own gifts, try a new craft. Or if you have never given homemade gifts, there is still time to sign up for a class on woodcrafts, ceramics, mosaics, candles, or soaps. As you create and assemble your presents, add some magic to them with this verse:

This gift is made with magic and
love, from my hands and heart
to your hands and heart.
