Want a fun and unique hostess, wedding, or birthday gift? These DIY coffee bean candles are just the ticket. \u00a0They are quick to make, lovely to use, and they create a wonderful smell. I know, because a\u00a0friend gave us some for Christmas and we’ve really enjoyed them.<\/p>\n

Coffee bean candles are easy to customize<\/strong> by using different containers, flavored coffee beans and wrapping, yet they literally take only minutes to put together. I initially thought that since coffee beans are expensive these might be, too, but I calculated that a cup of beans costs us only about $1.20 (at Costco, we buy coffee for $6.00\/pound). Using found containers like canning jars or buying dollar store glasses, these end up being the best of all worlds: an inexpensive, quick, easy and tasteful gift!<\/p>\n
