We are into December and probably a lot of you are in Christmas mode, shopping and planning for the festive season. I always like discovering ideas for more creative presents, whether it's something homemade or something a bit unique that I haven't thought about before.
This week I read 50 Festive Fivers, a list of gifts that all cost a fiver or less. There are some great ideas in there, have a read for yourself. Most require a bit of your own effort and creativity but nothing too challenging! Some of my favourites are:
- Hidden compartment book - a link is provided for an online tutorial to cut into a book and create a hidden compartment within (I think my son would love one)
- Memory jar - as it sounds, a jar full of memories for someone you love
- Kids' homemade movies - making a video compilation using various snippets of footage of your children to give to grandparents
- Homemade recipe book - a former work colleague made me one of these as a leaving gift and I loved it. I still use it regularly and I think of her each time I make one of the recipes she included.

Fizzy bath bombs!!!!!!!!!!!! :D I never knew how to make them before! And I have so much sodium bicarbonate in the house (not sure why) I'd love to give it a bash! And now I know what to do with all those ribbons I cut off things and keep :)x
