Roughen the inside of the lid with sandpaper then glue the figurines down with the epoxy. Screw the lid on tightly. Then shake, shake, shake. Some crafters have put some of the epoxy around the lid of the jar after screwing it on to avoid possible leaks. A great gift that can be filled over and over.
Loose tea is so English.
Fill an exotic box with it and include a whimsical tea infuser. There are so many on the market to choose from these days. The smell of lavender soothes the spirit. Stretch its calming affects when you give it as a candle or incense along with a CD that is equally as soothing. Color coordinate the holiday wrapping to set mood.
