Simple Gifts to Share

It's coming again!  The holiday that makes everyone a bit crazed.  It happens to the best of us.  Well, let me suggest the perfect gift...it'll make your life easier and they'll love it.  It's ideal for neighbors, hostess gifts, gift exchange parties, teachers, service providers, and any others that you realize at the last minute you need to remember.  Have a stash on hand and you'll never be left scrambling!

Ready?  Take a recycled  bottle--preferably a slender upright one with a little charm--and fill it with quality olive oil or liquid dish soap.  Taa-daa!  Add a plastic pouring spout found at cooking  stores or The Container Store.  Using soap? Add a bit of water to make it flow more easily.  A pretty ribbon and snazzy tags from Martha Stewart at STAPLES and you're all set.  Want to add a gift card, too? Gild that lily and go for it!
