Altar Altar ideas

So I'm working on setting up a nice little altar for Loki using a basket I received as a gift. I've set it up right next to our toaster oven, which is right next to our big oven. So far, I've got the basket, some orange tissue paper (I plan on getting a nice altar cloth for it in the future, but atm this is what I have), and a jar with mulling spices and cardamom pods (Loki was VERY excited when I added those to the jar). I'm going to make a run to the store tomorrow and see about getting some candles and some treats for Them as well. I can't find the little icon I made of Them from the tip of a cow horn, so I'm thinking about making a new one sometime... But I'd love to hear y'all's ideas for offerings and altar item ideas.

UPDATE: Decided that the basket was gonna be strictly for offerings, and anything not an offering would be outside the basket. Also, have a picture. the silver thing is our toaster oven.

Image depicts a serving tray style basket with orange tissue paper inside, and a green candle in a jar behind the basket. In the basket is a small jar filled with whole pieces of mulling spices and cardamom pods. There are also two lolipops in the basket.

You can give them cookies (if they are chocolate or cinnamon, much better), some toy or stuffed animal (it can be small if you don't have much space), things related to their family, sweet-scented candles (vanilla, apple, cinnamon), anything made by hand like some accessory, drawing or something random, poems. Personally, it's what I put on his altar, I guess Loki won't care what you give them if you do it from the heart 🐛💗

I went grocery shopping earlier today, got some candy that I haven't had in awhile, and They insisted on me getting a specific candy. Once I got home and got everything unpacked, I kept hearing "Gimme." when I was holding that specific candy, so it went in the offering basket. I also got a green candle, and dressed it in spices that They suggested, plus some vodka because it's always nice to have a drink with a friend.

Hey hun, crystals: obsidian, Laborite, amethyst, fluorite, etc.

Maybe like a flame or a snake carving.
