Fill jars with wishes or memories; open them later or at a special date.

95. Do a firelight “freeze dance” until the music stops

Move, then freeze in place—let the ember glow catch still silhouettes.

96. Craft a scented fire sachet with dried herbs near the flame

Lavender, pine, or rosemary in cloth sachets tucked near embers to scent the air.

Place small mementos, seal it, and bury or store—then revisit someday.
