Homemade Jar Gifts Under 10$…

This weeks idea is the gift of comfort and warmth,a nice cup of tea.  Oh no we have not drifted from the jar theme,this one just happens to have a handle.  To me,tea is a getaway in cup,it’s soothing and relaxing,and even when I am at work a cuppa is nice 15 minute get away. Adding a basket steeper and loose tea to adds to the charm.

To add to this fun gift,  you could add some homemade shortbread,super easy to make,a nice journal or a favorite book you want to share. Enjoy being creative,it’s the best part of gift giving.

Brushkins Natural Bristle Ornaments

Looking for a new ornament for your Christmas tree? How about an adorable gift for a friend?

Check out the line of Brushkins ornaments and pencils available in the Co-op’s Mercantile loft. Brushkins are decorations made from the fiber of the large Buri palm tree,native to the Philippines,Malaysia and Australia. They make great gifts and stocking stuffers for the holidays!

The Brushkins company was founded over 16 years ago by a young couple in the Philippines. One day Dinah and Michael Dychinco discussed the potential of an ordinary scrub brush. That initial conversation along with a pair of scissors,a lot of hard work,creativity and ingenuity eventually led to the creation of the Brushkins business. Production now provides jobs at an increased standard of living for over 400 people and their families.

Brushkins’bristly fiber is twisted onto a wire and the round brush is hand cut into its final shape and attached to a jute string hanger. Brushkins are “green”decorations that are made without destroying any trees or plants in the production process. These sturdy ornaments will also hold up for many years to come.
