This is a very inexpensive gift, parts of it a bit time consuming.
First, you have to pick out some encouraging Bible verses. There are hundreds ... I picked 3 dozen. Type them up on a business card (or something similar) size format. I printed about 24 to a page ... it's up to you, make them larger if you want. I printed 2 or 3 pages of each verse ... which gives me 24 "sets" of verses (times however many pages you print). This takes a bit of time; and then each verse needs to be cut out. If you have a paper cutter (I don't) it would go much faster! LOL!
All of that is the hard part. Take one set of slips of paper with verses, and fold up each piece of paper. Mix the pieces of paper together with enough peppermints to fill the container you use. I used a pretty glass vase from a Dollar store, but plan to search flea markets for more.
Present the vase of mints and folded slips of paper (with a pretty bow), with a card telling your recipient than when they feel "down", reach for "encourage-mints".
