Buttoned Up Christmas Gifts Ideas

21 Oct
There are some great little button-related Christmas gifts available in the moment.
 Fancy smelling like a rose scented button? (tho’ I don’t fancy smelling like the box of buttons I bought off ebay recently!) head over to Boots UK for this lovely little set of soaps.
 There are these fabulous ‘Belle de Sucre‘ Sugar Buttons in John Lewis.
Not only can you pop them in your tea or coffee, you can string them
to wear as an edible bracelet!
 John Lewis also have these cute charity Christmas cards for Mencap.
£3.75 for a pack of 10 – bargain!

>Handmade gifts from the kitchen

16 Jan

>

For Christmas this year, my group of close friends decided that we were giving each other small token gifts. I decided to make some handmade gifts from the kitchen after seeing a couple of great ideas in the December issue of the Country Living magazine. One idea was a Gingerbread Cookie Kit in a jar with a wooden spoon & cookie cutter and the other was for Chocolate Stem Ginger Fudge.
This is how they turned out and I was quite pleased with the results! The cookie mix was very easy to do and I attached a small label with the recipe instructions for making & baking. The fudge was equally easy to make, the only fiddly bit, was cutting out individual squares of wax paper to wrap the fudge pieces in. I found some lovely paper giftbags from Paperchase and I was then good to give. In return, I was also given some lovely handmade gifts, but more on that later! Did you make and give handmade this Christmas? I would love to hear what you made!
