I don’t know where the time keeps going, but it’s definitely happening a bit too fast for my liking! Christmas is just around the corner now and the money spent is already adding up – so here is our compilation of all things ‘make your own’ to keep Christmas cheap and still beautiful!
We’ll start with the all important gifts – some of these are our very own recipes and some come from some very clever people with more time on their hands than I have! Have a gander and give some a go yourself:
It’s a scarf, but with pockets!
This one takes a bit more time, but it’s so beautiful – a leather messenger bag.
Ministry of silly walks, in clock form.
Bath salts – so easy and they can come in any smell you fancy!
Bath vinegars – a nice jar or bottle can really make a difference to this one.
Lightbulb terrarium, does it get much more creative?
This elegant, delicate votive candle holder is just so beautiful, I want a room full of them!
It’s all well and good having gifts sorted, but it never really feels like Christmas until the decorations are up! Here are our favourite DIY decorations:
We used this video to make the decorations for our shop this year – they’re rather stunning!
Super intricate, ever so delicate, paper snowflakes

And of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a drink or two! Have a go at some of these Chrimbo cocktails:
Still our favourite, the Chocolate Alexander
A classic with a twist, Appleberry Mulled Wine
Cranberry mojito, tastes as good as it looks!
It’s Christmas, of course that means there has to be eggnog…
And in case you need something a bit more warming, hot chocolate and baileys – enough said.
There you go – everything you could possibly need to get you through another Christmas (or at least get you tipsy enough to not care!)
