Easy Presents For Difficult People ! #3 Christmas Eve Box :)

Chuc Mung Giang Sinh !          #It'sSnowingInMyBubble

So this will be at least the third time I've spoken about how absolutely impossible men are to buy for .... but today I have a solution ! This would would work for nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, girlfriends or boyfriends or ANYONE ! Everything in these boxes is personal to who you're making them for :) I originally decided to make this for my boyfriend as a way to get him Pyjamas because everyone should have Pyjamas, they're the most amazing and important thing ever invented !!! :D Anywaayyyy .... back to the subject ;) So I've spent the last few months finding bits and bobs to put together his very own, 

Christmas Eve Box ! 



What you will need : 
  • Their favourite DVD or just a film that you know they will like ... or you would like to steal from them in the near future ;) 
  • Their Favourite Chocolate 
  • Their Favourite Popcorn 
  • A box ( I bought this Batman one for £6.99 at The Works but I'm sure you can get cheaper )) 
  • Their Favourite Pringles 
  • Any sweets that they like ( I found a Harry Potter Chocolate frog with a wizard card ) 
  • Christmas Crackers 
  • Candy Canes 
  • Presents 
  • Mini Santa Sack / Bag 
  • Pyjamas 
  • Christmas Card 
  • Tinsel 
  • Popcorn Holder ( £2.99 at Harkins Baazar )  

1) Layer tinsel around the bottom of your box for the sparkly ness required in any Christmassy thing ! :)




2) Put the popcorn into the popcorn holder and arrange in the box with the DVD, PJ's, chocolates, crisps, sweets and any other little goodies that you think they might need for the perfect Christmas eve :) You could make a DIY Hot Chocolate kit and pop that in as well ! <3 

3) Wrap your presents ( I chose very manly paper for my boyfriend as you can see ;) ) And pop them into the mini Santa sack and arrange them in the box :) 

                                         

4) Sprinkle your box with crackers and candy canes, add your card ( don't forget to write it first ... I had to unwrap and re-wrap the whole thing three times because of forgetting to do things like that ! ) 


Now just pop the lid on and wrap the box up, try my " Always time for a bow - wrapping DIY " and give the recipient instructions to keep the box upright and that they can open it and have anything that's not wrapped on Christmas eve :) 

Enjoy ! 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

Today's Merry Christmas is in Vietnamese , In Vietnam on Christmas Eve the Christians would attend a midnight Mass. After Church people would return to their homes for the most important meal the Christmas supper. The dinner usually consisted of chicken soup, and wealthier people ate turkey and Christmas Pudding.

Easy Gifts for Difficult People #2 ( Ice Cream Kit )

Feliz Navidad !                    #It'sSnowingInMyBubble

I really enjoy writing and doing DIY posts for this blog so today I'm delighted to post another DIY for my Blogmas mini series 'Easy Gifts For Difficult People' Today I made a ' Just add Ice cream kit ' because everyone loves Ice cream right ? But it always has to be chocolate flavour doesn't it ? If it's not chocolate then I don't want to know ;) Anywayyss this would do really well for anyone , family, friend and strangers a like :) 

Just Add Ice Cream Kit ! 


What You'll need : 
  • Ice cream waffle cones 
  • Gold curling ribbon
  • Gold wrapping Box 
  • Plastic Icing bag
  • Little Jam Jars ( 50p at Hobbycraft ) 
  • Ice cream sauce ( I used Chocolate and Toffee flavoured ) 
  • A Variety of Ice cream Sprinkles 
  • Cellophane Bags 
  • cellatape 
  • Scissors 
  • Basket/ Gift Box 


1) That four of the waffle cones and put them into the icing bag, then tie a length of gold curling ribbon around the icing bag and curl the ribbons to erm .. make them curly aha :) Add more ribbons until it looks all pretty and add a bow to finish it off :) I also added a chalkboard label because I wanted to play with them .. and it looked cute :) 


2) Next squeeze your toffee and chocolate sauce into the little jam jars ( Not both sauces into the same ones in case your as stupid as me ;) ) and pop them in the basket with the cones . 


3) Take the cellophane bags and cut them in half. Take the part that still has the bottom bit of the bag in and pour some sprinkles into the mini bag :) Sellotape the top of the bag and then old the top over until you've got it folded down to the sprinkles and then sellotape the bag again just to make sure ! 

                                      

4) Repeat step 3 with the rest of your sprinkles :) 


5) Finally just pop everything into the basket or gift box and it's as easy as that ! Perfect for anyone ... unless they're allergic to dairy ;)

Today's Merry Christmas is in Argentine, In Argentina after they toast on Christmas eve the adults dance whilst the children go out to see the fireworks :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
