So for Christmas this year many of the family got handmade hampers with chutneys, jams, pickled nasturtium seeds (bit like capers), elderflower cordial and Sloe Gin.
However those overseas means I cannot always send handmade food items (especially to New Zealand) so I have to rethink their gifts.
This year I was able to make my mum some glass ear rings and necklace. I attended a glass workshop and we made different items learning how to layer glass rods etc, I really enjoyed it and it is something I would do again (it could be quite addictive I have already done a couple of glass blowing lessons too!)
It meant got to make something individual and personal that I know she won't already have so I was pleased with that.
If anyone else has any ideas for presents that can be sent overseas then please let me know as I am running out of ideas!!
Happy crafting
