    I have an idea for the honey pots...... Find a couple of cute bears...
    The kind that are jointed and or sit on their bottoms..... Hot glue the pot between there paws in front of the belly, use a yellowish hot glue (like hot glue for wood) and drizzle it over the paws and face to look like honey...... Put a bee on his nose.... Now use the pot for what ever you like.... Put a cello bag full of a recipe like some kind of honey muffin or something.......

    The rings and beads.....
    make back massagers.....
    Thread the beads in rows like you do when you make those pony bead animals (Do you know what I mean?) make several rows and tie a ring on each end so they can put it around their backs or shoulders, like one of those back scrubbies (I hope I am explaining this right )

    I was thinking of the pots for the bath stuff you're making your girls.... make some honey "flavored" soap or bath salts or something and put it in the honey pots.

    Lori has some great ideas too. Lori, you are just too awesome!

    Honey coughdrops in the honeyjar for a get well gift, or those honey chew candies for a gift any other time. AC Moore carried ribbons with bees on it during the spring.
