We know exactly how you feel…
We, like you, have Pinterest boards a’brimming with DIY festive inspiration. Last December we promised ourselves that we would save money next yuletide by knitting tacky jumpers, baking Christmas cake pops (these ones are fantastic!) and hand sewing Nordic-themed bunting. Ah, to live in the world. But alas, October/November is upon us, and we haven’t got the time or inclination to lug ourselves to Hobbycraft. Therefore, buying our way out of the Christmas pressie madness is our only viable option.
So, without further ado, let’s get down to the Christmas gift nitty gritty with our pick of the best goodies on offer this season- no superglue, glitter or crepe paper required.
These festive stocking cuties look far more expensive than they actually are. (No more accidentally on purpose leaving the expensive price tag attached in order for present receiver to discover that you paid through the nose for their tiny treat! Come on, admit it, you’ve done it too!)
