Peanut Butter Bells Ring In a Tasty Treat for the Birds

These natural grapevine bells are stuffed full of nutritious peanut butter, almonds and cashews - over 6 oz in each! Birds love them, and they look wonderfully festive hanging from tree branches. These Holiday Bells come in a set of three and are a great source of fat and protein to help birds survive cold weather. The bells can be refilled with peanut butter so can be used to extend the holiday season for our feathered friends.

The Most Extraordinary Candle of the Holiday Season

Place this unique rope candle on the mantel and every guest is sure to admire it. But this is more than a conversation piece, it’s an entirely new and more practical kind of candle. Pillar candles are so big they burn only a fraction of the wax — the rest is wasted. This rope candle burns all the wax, so there’s no waste and very little dripping. You’ll receive a 21-foot beeswax blend candle that burns for up to 95 hours, plus a handsome steel holder with antiqued copper finish.

The Rope Candle is just under seven and a half inches tall and five and a half inches across. It even has a smaller cousin in case you might prefer the petite version. Click HERE to order.

Great gift for the fisherman in the family!
