Christmas Special: Made With Love

There’s something extra-special about a gift you’ve made yourself. Whether it’s a jar of fragrant herb salt or a cleverly wrapped treat, homemade presents carry a warmth money can’t buy. These DIY Christmas gifts are simple, thoughtful and guaranteed to bring a smile.

DIY Christmas gift bag

Not every present fits neatly into a box, but that’s exactly what makes Christmas so much fun! If you know me, you’ll know I have quite a soft spot for a Lindt LINDOR truffle (or three). So here’s my ultimate hack to wrap a Lindt LINDOR Cornet so it sits beautifully under the tree. All you need is some wrapping paper, ribbon (I’m loving velvet right now), scissors and tape.

Jolly Good Salt

Packaged in a little jar, this bright, herby finishing salt instantly lifts any dish. These DIY Christmas Gifts are thoughtful and homemade that’s as pretty as it is tasty.

• 5 tbsp flaky salt
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp dried chives
• 1 pinch dried coriander

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.
2. Pop into a cute jar and store until ready to gift!
3. For a sweet, personal touch, tie a piece of string or twine around the jar and attach a handwritten label.
