[Steppes] Baronial Largess

[alkudsi@aol.com]

I've found that the tea lights travel well, and there are some really nice (and period style) lanterns that use them.  They don't drip on tablecloths, either!  I've actually snuck some into aladdin-style lamps, too, for a safer alternativeto lamp oil when traveling.  They also can be exceptionally good buys, with a bag of 100 for $4 or so at Big Lots.

A helpful hint. 
 
Candles are beautiful things we all love, but don't travel or weather well, sadly. If you want to include them, I have found that candles in glass seem to be sturdier in gift baskets. 
 
Other fun items to put in is bottles of cooking herbs, the small covered books with blank paper are always cool too. 
 
Gift basket creating is a favorite hobby of mine, so I was really excited to see someone gathering for them! I will bring you a couple rolls of trim in my basket to donate :)
