conversations.value: Making Candles and Soaps For Dummies
  One thing that you need to think about is zoning. Because you're doing business in your home, you probably are in a residential area. That means zoning ordinances may not allow you to conduct a business in your home. Rules and regulations vary based on community, but you should definitely contact your local government before setting up shop — or you may be out of business sooner than you figured!

conversations.value: Unlike most presents, this gift belongs outside. To make a patio candle, melt your wax, color and scent it, and pour it into three small terra cotta pots. Place the pots in a large terra cotta saucer and then arrange shells around the pot. Secure the shells in place by pouring a very thin layer of hot wax or using glue. Then add sand.
  This gift is great if you're on a tight budget but want high-dollar results. Terra cotta saucers and pots are inexpensive, and if you've ever collected shells at the beach, you know they're free. The wax is the most expensive part of the project, and you can even get around that cost, if necessary, by using recycled wax. (See Chapter 2 for details on recycling wax.)
  Who doesn't like to be pampered? If you can't afford to send your sister to a day spa, then treat her to her own home-spa kit. Include body lotion and foot oil (see the "Taking It Easy: Foot Oil" section earlier in this chapter), as well as massage oil, bath oil, and shower gel. Don't forget to include some aromatherapy votives! (For home-spa recipes, see Chapter 17.)
  If your loved one is having trouble sleeping, then give a goodnight kit. Include aromatherapy soaps and a dozen votive candles. Make sure that you match the scents to the mood — you want your loved one to be totally relaxed before hitting the sheets. For more on essential oils, see Chapter 19.
  Go to any craft store, and you can find many soap-making and candle-making kits. But a kit that lends a truly remarkable effect is one that guides you through making mosaic votive holders. Using the kit, paste bits of glass onto a votive candleholder, basically creating a stained-glass effect. (You can also do this without a kit, but I suggest trying it this way first.) If you can't find the kit at your local craft store, check out the supplier Web sites in Appendix A. The results are sensational.

  Although translucent or solid white soaps look attractive, why not add a little color to your soaps so that they match your room?
