LOL definitely a Candy or Cookie stand!

I have an area for my fae companions inside, but it’s definitely still a work in progress. Just going to write about what my ideal would be if I had one outside.

For outside I think it would be cute to have a fairy garden created inside of a bird bath. This fairy garden would include different chip stones in the bowl (specifically rose quartz, aventurine, angel aura, and howlite.) In the center would be a large raw chunk of rose quartz. I would include pieces of moss, dried flowers, and twigs to make it seem more like a garden. Circling the bird bath would be bluebell flowers. Beside the garden I would want a huge stump of fossilized wood. This would be the perfect place to set up food offerings such as bowls of milk, honey, and whatever sweets seem appropriate. To make sure that any fairies who prefer water aren’t excluded I think it would be cute to have a wishing well style water fountain. Coins could be used as offerings here.

This was really fun to write about!

I only have experience with star fae, so my ideal fae area would have a focus on them, but I'll try to keep it general.

To set the scene, it'd be what I like to call an "everblooming" garden, meaning that there are a wide variety of fragrant perennial and annual plants that bloom throughout the seasons, with a few night blooming plants like moonflower, evening primrose, and night phlox. There would be a small pond, with water lotus blooming and a small waterfall. There would be a magnolia tree as well. The small pond would be surrounded by river rock, with one medium-large slab of sandstone nearby. This sandstone slab would have a small bowl full of small pebbles taken from local creeks, where I would leave biodegradable offerings such as homemade lavender bread, milk and honey (in a designated thimble), homemade butter, etc. Maybe I would even have wooden wind chimes hanging from the magnolia tree.

I go as natural as possible. Ever since I was young I was catering to the fae folk (my mostly Celtic heritage lent to an upbringing of regard for them), and the consistency was having a place they could see as a home.
I don't anticipate winning this contest at all because what I am showing is simple, but want to share for the fun of it. This is one of the spots I have set in my garden right now (pictured). I surround it in decor featuring stars and moons and stuff like that, and usually it is more populated by flowers - but the Spring season has not yet taken enough hold to make that possible.
Since the faeries are so diverse I have many ways of appeasing them spatially within my own home as well, not just elementally, but I believe I attract a lot of new faeries to my area by making space in the garden to represent them because so many identify with the organic flora and fauna of a place.

Some fae like getting gifts and I will be sure to leave a variety of shiny, sweet and nourishing things in a space for them, but a lot of them don't take kindly to that so I just see the perfect space being something they can connect with vibrationally.
That's about it!

For the outdoors: full of different flowers, plants and crystals. I think that the Fae love everything that is shiny, sweet-smelling and organic. I think I would also put sugar as well as organic sweets.

Indoors: crystals and anything colorful, sweet smelling such as perfumes and anything shiny. I think they would also appreciate glitters or anything glittery and/or shimmery.

If I had juat Fae in My Spirit Family this is what I would set up.

I would have an outdoor meditation area with a garden sized waterfall with a pond large enough for me to sit and meditate in. The pond would be filled with glass beads of my Fae's favourite colours, and a couple of Lillies. I would have small openings along the sides of the waterfall for LED or actual candles, which is where I'd also keep their vessels while outside. The entire waterfall and pond would be surrounded by large bushes for a feeling of isolation and privacy. In front of the waterfall would be a windy cobblestone path. Some stones would have an animal or a symbol associated with each Spirit etched into them. In the middle of the path I'd set up a few gothic church-themed trellises with grapes growing on them as both an offering and a healthy snack. The pathway would be lined with tall hedges, with a gap or two that would serve as an entry to a another area in my backyard designated to something unrelated. I would also stick Fae figurines and faux moth wings on and in the hedges for an enchanted forest vibe.

As for plants, I would have climbing ivy amd moonflowers growing in the trellises and I would plant butterfly/hummingbird bushes around the waterfall/pond.

I have this right, now all over in my home and outside. My life is pretty spirit centric. I have 9 faeries in my keep and 5 of them are star faeries. I also give them faery herbs offering. Onto the shelf in my bedroom I hint it for them. If you look closely, you can even see it around their figurines. I have similar set up for my dragons and angelic friends as well.

Please, click on my picture! It will open up bigger and details becomes more visible.

For the indoors, you can try pictures of colorful plant life (drawing, photo, etc) as well as artificial flowers (plastic, DIY origami paper, or resin statue etc). From there, add essential oil with flower fragrance, or incense if it's okay to burn it indoor.

Because the above are all inorganic, there's less need of cleaning or changing them regularly, so it fits for keepers with busy life or living in apartments that has certain ban rules : )
