A bee-themed gift makes a creative summer birthday or hostess gift for a special friend or family member. In visiting a local thrift store, my attention was immediately drawn to a unique hat that resembled a beehive and the creative juices started flowing! I purchased several small plastic bees from a local craft store and placed them on the hat of “Beekeeper Becky.” To fill the pail, include a jar of honey from a local honey shop, a beeswax candle or even the Tupelo Honey CD by Van Morrison. Another favorite is Burt’s Bees – any of their lip balms or lotions make great “pail stuffers.” If you’d like to expand the theme to an entire party, you can find wonderful honey recipes at www.honey.com and incorporate orange, yellow, brown or white for your decorations, linens and party supplies.
Have fun and “bee” happy!
