I first experimented with homemade vodka flavours a few years ago when I made homemade Skittles vodka but this year I'm taking it to a whole new level.I was given a litre bottle of vodka a couple of weeks ago and although it was a lovely and much appreciated gift, I’m not a huge vodka drinker so I decided to use it to make a cheeky little homemade vodka gift for one of my vodka loving friends.I was planning to make Skittles vodka but when I went to buy the skittles I spied some pear drops on the shelf which I thought would be lovely.That got me thinking that I could go with … [Read more...]
How to make a pretty teacup candle using tea lights….
Here's my cheat's version of a pretty teacup candle using tea lights and my favourite mug! Super easy, super cute and would make a great homemade gift!I love candles and in the past, I've thought about making my own so I could make something individual that would fit in with my home. The problem with making my own is that it involved buying the things I needed to make them and when I added the costs together with the time and effort involved then I figured I was better off sticking to buying the ones that I LOVE from Primark which smell amazing, last for ages and don't break the … [Read more...]

Easy DIY Paper Basket to fill with treats….
Last year I made a little DIY paper basket after dissecting one that Master Frugal made at school to bring his homemade peppermint creams home in. It was such a cute little basket but I had to wait until after Christmas to pull it apart in case I couldn't put it back together again. ;-)It's OK though, I managed to take it apart, figure out how to make my own version and put his back together before he even looked up from his new Xbox game.

5 Minute Nutella Fudge
Nutella fudge is something that I've been meaning to make for at least the last two years but I've never actually got round to making it though because there are at least a million Nutella fudge recipes online (me, exaggerate?) and each one of them seems a little different.I've read comments on posts where people have had a disaster with theirs not setting and I've also read comments where it hasn't been Nutella-y enough. Wasting perfectly good Nutella is not something my children would forgive me for so I just never ended up making it.But when I was planning my Christmas … [Read more...]
