Surprise them

With pretty pinecone favors

-

Guests are sure to adore these “snow-kissed” firestarte­r favors that will chase away winter’s chill! To do: Gather pinecones. Melt craft-store wax in a double boiler and use a paintbrush to apply it to the tips of pinecones. Sprinkle Epsom salt on the wax; let dry and tie on a paper label. The wood and wax will catch fire fast, and the salt will cause a reaction that turns flames a wintry white hue.
