Honey spoons are another option that’s great for gifting. I’d imagine honey on a stick is something one doesn’t typically buy themselves, making it ideal for gifting. This is another product I didn’t know existed, so I would definitely be excited to get it as a gift!

DIY Tea Bags

Ever read up on a certain herb and immediately want to try it? You can buy empty tea bags and fill them yourself. Use caution here because herbs have side effects.

As much as I would love to play potion-maker, I know that I need to do my homework first. However, if you know someone who’s picky about their tea, empty tea bags and some of their favorite ingredients would make an amazing gift.
