Make Christmas more meaningful with something handmade
Christmas is a time for showing you care, not only through thoughtful presents, but by taking the time to make homemade gifts too.
We’re happy to share some of our favourite recipes for homemade gifts that will go down a treat over the festive season. Easy but impressive, these goodies are fun to package and give, with love.
Clear the kitchen, gather friends and kids, it’s a great time to craft and create!
Love,
Ashley & Co.

Christmas Shortbread with Rosemary
|
|
It’s a classic for a reason - Shortbread’s delicious! If the richness of Christmas pudding has you hankering for a smaller treat, the gorgeous crunch of shortbread will delight. Easy to bake and cut in festive shapes, we’ve added a touch of rosemary to cut through the sweetness.

Seasoned Salt with Lime Leaves
|
|
We’re in the season of BBQs, and nothing packs a flavour punch like a sprinkling of seasoned salt. There’s no need to buy these as they are so easy to make – and always well-received when given! The zest of lime leaf is perfect on grilled seasonal vegetables, fish and chicken. We love to add a bit of chilli too, to dial up the heat!

Biscotti with Almond and Ginger
|
|
Biscotti might just sound like a fancy name for a biscuit, but these are far superior. Also known as Cantucci, these delectable Italian pastries are twice-baked in a log shape, creating an extra dry and chewy morsel, ideal for a dip in a cuppa (or, more traditionally, Vin Santo). Super easy to make, you can whip up Biscotti in a few simple steps. Add extra ingredients to your taste (nuts, dried fruit, lemon zest, chocolate chips). We love ours with a smattering of crystallised ginger for a bit of zing, then dipped into decadent white chocolate.

Brownies with Mint Essence
|
|
It’s fairly clear that almost everybody adores a Brownie. This ubiquitous, fudgey, chocolatey treat is a staple in cafes worldwide and for good reason. But how to give it some festive flair? Add some minty freshness, we say! This chocolate and mint combo can’t be beaten and is likely to be devoured in record time. What’s even better, you can make it in one small pot.
