Find of the Week:
This battery-operated candle from Dollarama is printed with a beautiful summery pattern. It’s the first time I’ve seen one like it in a dollar store and I absolutely love it! These candles cost $4 each and run on two AA batteries sold separately.

Quick Tip:
You can buy special clips to label your baskets. My idea is to use bag clips and label them yourself. Use bag clips that have a smooth surface, design the labels you need on your computer and print. Then it’s just a matter of cutting them out and gluing the labels onto the bag clips. Any glue would probably work, but I opted for Mod Podge and coated the whole clip, as well as the label.
If you have neat printing skills, which I don’t :(, you could even write directly onto the clip using a Sharpie. These bag clips are about 3 1/4-inches long and I used a font called Algerian and sized it at 18.
