My evenings have been filled with crafts and kitchen goodie smells – cutting out bird shaped cinnamon ornaments, glittering up frosted glass hurricanes and miraculously baking marshmallows (who knew!) – along with simple online donation making to specifically selected charitable causes that mean something to family and friends.
It takes a little bit of planning and some extra time but making something for the holidays is a great way to show the people in your life that you care. Whether its baking, crafting or doing whatever you’re an expert at – a gift from the heart is something that will be cherished by the receiver.
For example, this year I received (alright I helped form the idea for it too!) a lovely tin of biscotti from Accentuate Home Staging Design Group. Katherine Van Leeuwan baked cranberry-almond biscotti and wrapped it up in a paint can.
It was delicious and from the heart. She even handmade greeting cards!
