LOW COST homemade christmas gifts

It's where you can write a handful of posts at once, but have them published at future dates. So in my case I'll try to write enough blog posts at the weekend to keep me going for the week. Not entirely sure how you do it yet. Is your blog by blogger? When I figure it out I'll let you know xx

Gingerbread is a really great thing to make for gifts for people, and it doesn't take much creativity actually - check this out that I made. Now bear in mind, I am really NOT crafty at all. And I made a template for this all by myself. Looked up the recipe online, and went for it. I had a horse shaped cookie cutter by the way. Took this to Christmas at my husband's Aunt's house, intending for it to be eaten. I had no idea but she collected carousels! So she wouldn't let anyone eat it, and had it preserved. It lasted several years! With a bit of thought and effort you could make any number of things from gingerbread.

Wow, very impressive MrsWassire.
Made a couple of these up today, seen on Pinterest! "For your Mistle Toes"!

Bought the nail varnish from a boots 3 for 2 set and the other bits from pound shop. Could probably source cheaper nail polish. Cost about £2, really pleased with how they turned out.

I love the mistletoes, I have a variation of this done a different way, I'll have to hunt the photos, I have it scheduled on by blog over the next few weeks lol

I love the gingerbread carosel mrs, it's gorgeous well done you

I been making these as an alternative to puny selection boxes

Sweet bouquets

Selection boxes have shrunk so much, I know to save the environment , but the sweets in them are tiny , so I made these bigggg ones

Good luck with your stall giggle
