Scented waxed pine cone fire starters

A practical gift for anyone with a fireplace — these light easily and fill the room with a warm cinnamon-pine scent as they burn.

You'll need

• Dry pine cones
• Old candle stubs or paraffin wax
• A few drops of cinnamon or pine essential oil
• Parchment paper

How to make them

1. Melt the wax in a double boiler; stir in the essential oil once melted.
2. Dip each pine cone fully into the wax, then let excess drip off.
3. Set on parchment paper to harden completely.
4. Package a few together with a note: tuck one under kindling to help start a fire.
