jar candles

Simple question this morning!

I am planning on making some canning jar candles for gifts-
I fill the jar (clear and blue) with something, add a votive holder and candle, add some raffia or ripped fabric and
Voila!

But I'm at a mental block on what to put in the jars.
I have:
buttons- check
marbles- check
colored stones- check!
Popourri- or however you spell it... check!

What other things would look nice?

beans in layers of different colors

family pictures, the 3 1/2" X 5" size fits the best, put two in there, back to back or separated with clear marbles

mini cookie cutters

mini silk flower or greenery arrangements

bath salts

for a seamstress, a mini sewing kit with the tape measure to tie around the top of the jar
