These are the items I made for the gift basket we gave out as one of the baby shower prizes. Included was a matching post-it notepad holder, beaded pen, 4x4 tumbled tile coaster, a set of four note cards and a 3x3 stamped candle,. My husband uses his drill press and a Forstner bit to make a two-inch wide and 1 3/8 inch deep hole in the top of the candle to hold a glass tealight holder, so they are safe to burn.

What a gorgeous set!!!! Thanks for the idea of using a drill. I always burn my candle a bit and scoop out a hole while it's warm. The drilll sounds great.

This is SOOOO stunning! I love the colors and everything you did with this set. Love the idea of making the candle a tealite instead - would have never thought of that! I have GOT to get this set... Splendid job!

What a pretty set! I really like the beads on the post-it note holder to match the pen,.... and the tea lite in the candle is a wonderful idea. I love it all!
