Every Heart stands for Love

What do you give the couple who has everything? Something sweet, simple and thoughtful, complete with your very own homemade touch - homemade is best!

I have named these homegrown second generation chilli plants "Spicy Hot Love Trees", to bring good luck and passion to a newly wed couple. I'll pick the most handsome tomorrow, but I'm thinking the one with the red fruit is a favourite to win! To bring spicy hot lovey-doveyness into the home, this chilly plant will need lots of sunshine and happiness. A good drink of water everyday is in order, but this special plant will not like to sit in water for too long,  so it's best it doesn't have a saucer and is well drained. Keep it in a pot, so that in the winter its easier to move into the sun, or to a sunny window indoors. I've written about our homegrown chilli plants in a previous post.

Fresh herbs are usually best, but these "Love Sprinkles" are a lucky love charm to add when cooking food to share. These herbs were homegrown, dried and prepared with love for good luck! Marjoram is well known as the herb of weddings, rosemary is for love, and just a few little chilli flakes are for spicy passion. These herbs would be good to add to a pasta sauce dish. I've written about drafting this idea in a previous post.

I've also made my own gift card and wrapping paper for our other gift (another simple gift for goodluck, to help with homebaking). This is a magical gift card with its matching paper. Every time a heart was handdrawn, the word 'love' was whispered for goodluck.
