Blended Coffee (bag of coffee flavoured with spices to your choice)

I'm doing this for my sister's birthday in November but I'm putting it in a gift box with a mini cafetiere, glass coffee cup and some homemade biccies
Just an idea!

Right I've been busy this morning playing with my glue gun. I've finished off my little sister's mirror (almost), made her a diddy pair of studs and made a jewellery set for my big sis. Just waiting on the post and I'll be adding a matching ring
It's all a bit messy atm I know but what do we think?

 

[Kate&Lucas]

I LOVE this thread!!! I'm big on homemade things

This year I'm decorating frames for people and making our xmas cards.

I love the body scrub idea, I've already added it to my list. It's perfect for so many people and I already have great saved jars all ready

Anyone got links to making vodka or other drinks? this would be a great one for the boys (big ones of course lol)

My girlie saw that mirror and said "wowee mummy look! it's for princess!"
