Padding-Top and Padding-Bottom Not Working - html

Question

For some reason padding-top and padding-bottom are not working for my #functions div.
I can't seem to figure out what is canceling out the CSS to cause this, and for some reason padding-left and padding-right work fine.
I want the #functions div to look like this:
Is there something wrong with my HTML or CSS? Am I approaching this the wrong way?

Answer 1

This can be done using CSS Flexbox.
For Reference your CSS should be somewhat like:
#savefood, #savemoney, #savetime {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
#savefood {
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}

Answer 2

To apply padding make your element display: block and if your approach is to align it vertically. Make it display: flex; align-items: center and give a height to its parent element
