Wellness

A book, a candle and some nice chocolate? Sounds like a great night to me!

Specifically, I chose Nicholas Sparks, The Return for the book, a little homemade sugar scrub (click here for recipe), a chocolate bar from Trader Joes, a candle and a couple face masks.

Beer Lover

I packaged this gift in an old cigar box and included two cans of beer, salted peanuts, cheddar cheese and salami.

This would also make a great gift for groomsmen!

Apple Butter

I was born and raised in New York, where the apples are the best EVER. Each year we can apple butter and apple sauce to enjoy the amazing apples throughout the year.

Homemade apple butter, a few apples and a box of bread mix make a really cute, personalized gift. Not into making your own? Check out a local farm stand for homemade jam!

Christmas Cookies

This gift is especially cute for someone with kids!

I lined this giftbox with a Christmas dish towel. I included cookie cutters, cookie icing, sprinkles in ornament containers and a roll of premade sugar cookie dough that I wrapped in white tissue paper.

Everything you need for a cute, little breakfast!

Homemade Vanilla Extract

This personalized gift is incredible easy to make and is perfect for nearly everyone!

For this, simply add a few vanilla beans and vodka into a decorative bottle. Print some cute little labels and you have one of the easiest homemade gifts ever!

For best results allow to sit for at least a month before using.
