Boozy Cherries {Christmas Gift Guide}

Christmas is a-creepin’ closer, folks.

Time to start desperately searching for a creative, thoughtful, personal yet inexpensive gift for each of your family members, friends, colleagues and neighbours.

Bloody nora, that sounds stressful.

Fret not, friends.

I present to you the perfect…well, present.

I am a huge, huge fan of edible gifting.

Something made by your own fair hands it a hundred times more personal than that gift set from Boots.

And, most of the time, it winds up being cheaper.

Whilst your foodie gift doesn’t have to be of the festive persuasion, I think it’s a pretty sweet idea to include a little Christmassy tipple.

Even if you’re not a fan of brandy (I’m not), I’ll wager you’ll like this boozy compote.

Just  enough to give it a little kick, but not so much that it’ll knock your Christmas socks off.

If you want to skip the booze, though, simply swap it out for orange juice instead.

A jar of this, maybe some of my Homemade Applesauce and a little bag of this Popcorn (or maybe this one) and you have yourself a lovely little hamper that your friends and family will really appreciate.
