First I made her a cake. Not your typical cake though. This one was made with paper and Hershey nuggets. Let me just say, cute idea but pain in the butt. I can't find the exact tutorial I used but THIS ONE is basically the same.
Dark and gloomy around here so the pictures aren't the best. The tutorial I followed had 3 Hershey nugget layers but after doing 2 I opted for my third layer to be a battery operated tealight candle.
My second gift was a teabag holder. The tutorial I followed for this project is HERE. I filled it with 6 Earl Grey teabags since that is her favorite tea
I wasn't completely satisfied with the way the teabag holder came out so I spent the rest of the morning working on a new design and putting parts of it into Cricut design space so that I can cut them all out with my machine. Come back tomorrow to see that one.

These are awesome! And the cake is a real work of art. I can't imagine cutting and wrapping all those nuggets.
what a super duper idea for the cake, love it. and the teabag is adorable, can't imagine it being better. waiting with bated breath...😊
I had to look uo Hershey nuggets! So that is just ONE nugget in each ‘wrap”? Holy carp do you have patience and fine motor skills! The tea light candle is genius! These things are quite smal and intricate, I have no idea how you do this. Me, personally, I’m all thumbs.
fun cake, but i might eat it all in one sitting. LOL
What a thoughtful gift. You're so talented.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lot of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
You have the utmost patience, and it paid off, love the tealight topper.
The teabag holder is so cute, and I love the cake idea.
That cake is just too cute!!
Very sweet and cute gift . . . you are so thoughtful :) Always making things to give away to friends.
Fabulous! You're so prolific! Have a great day, Ann. :)
Both are very cute! The candy cake looks like a lot of work to those of us who know what went into it. I hope it was appreciated!
I LOVE the silver (milk chocolate) Hershey Nuggets!
Those are so cute! I bet the recipients loved your thoughtful gifts!
Those are so neat... Great job. And the nuggets, YUM.
The cake is cute. The teabag holders seem kinda... superfluous
These handmade gifts are so special! I love the tea bag holder :)
