1. Even the naughty deserve something nice
Print, or make this gift tag yourself and attach it to a decadent treat for a friend, neighbour, family member, or some sexy underwear for that special someone...Ooh la la!
For those who absolutely cannot be bothered printing or making them, just buy them here. You’re welcome 🙂
2. Snowman chocolate bars
These cuties are super easy to make and literally won’t cost much or take too much time. If you really, really need a tutorial, then click this link. Don’t worry, we won’t judge.
3. Movie Madness snack basket
Everyone loves a good ol’ movie night on the sofa, but what’s a good movie without all the snacks, eh? Grab some candy, microwave popcorn, chips, wine, chocolate, and other yummy goodies, throw it into a basket or used popcorn holder, and POP! You have a snack pack! “Here’s looking at you, kid”
Click here a few ideas and a bit (or a lot) of inspiration.
4. Adult hot chocolate kits.
If you don’t already have everything you need to make these, a quick stop at the store will ensure you do. Add a bottle of Bailey’s or whiskey to make it boozy. Just don’t give this to your neighbour’s noisy kids!
Check out the tutorial here.
5. Personalised sharpie mug creations
Grab some markers or ceramic paint and personalise a plain old mug with their initials, draw something they love, or just let out your inner Picasso. Make sure you put the mug in the oven to set or all your “hard work” would go to waste.
By handmade, we really mean printed off :) Just add personalised services that apply to the receiver. It could be anything from a hug, home-cooked meal, movie-night, to a foot/back rub, spontaneous trip… Go on, get creative!
Get your bake on with these 3-ingredient cookies that look good and taste great! You wouldn’t even have to get your hands dirty! Ok, maybe just a little!
Here is the mouth-watering recipe.
8. Snowman, Christmas Elf and Reindeer Poop
All you’ll need for these are a few clear bags or empty tic-tac containers, a printable label, and an optional, endearing poem about the slightly disturbing contents.
Snowman poop - small marshmallows (or just cut up some big ones), white dinner mints, tic-tacs
For elf poop - green and red M&M’s work a charm
Reindeer poop - chocolate covered raisins
Find accompanying poems here.
9. Reindeer bath goodies in a wash cloth
Ok this one requires a bit of skill, but don’t be shy to get creative. The more effort you put into it, the more special it becomes 😉
10. Super colourful Galaxy jars.
These creative gifts are inexpensive, very quick to make, and you probably already have everything you need lying around your house.
