Homemade Christmas fun

So this Christmas, to save money, I made a selection of homemade gifts.


My Dad is Alfredo and, you may have guessed, Italian.  He has been nagging me to make him Focaccia bread since I made it for him a few years ago.  So I bought the jars, made the labels and filled them with packet mixes.  I know - slapped wrist!  But I had only been back from America for 9 days so was running out of time. 

I bought the bottles and filled one with Mulled Wine and the other with Coffee Liqueur. 

I wrote instructions on the labels of all and use a Sharpie to write the main name tags.

Anyway, my Dad was really pleased and the total of these gifts was about £25.  It sounds a lot I guess but they really were a pleasure to make!!
