I have been loving the community discussions here and I have been thinking more and more about Christmas looming up.
Every year it is getting more and more expensive to buy gifts for all my family members, and not just that but the quality of store bought products, especially for children, is just atrocious.
It was my daughter's birthday on Saturday and she received a Barbie doll with about 10 different outfits. When we opened the box the dresses were made with something that feels like a mix between plastic and paper. Not only that but none of the dresses even fit.
Taking another look at this Barbie, I can see the quality is not at all what we used to get as little girls...
Anyway the point of this post is not to grumble about the shoddy quality of products these days but more to suggest that everyone either makes all their own gifts for family members, or alternatively buy handmade products from a local or online market.
There is just so much plastic and rubbish doing the rounds and it makes no sense at all to buy rubbish gifts that are just going to land up in the bin!
I am going to go through all these awesome homemade gift ideas and make things for everyone in our family and I am going to get my kids to help me!

Yes the homemade things are lovely and I want to try and incorporate the idea of recycling (yes the glass jars) things I already have by jazzing them up and making storage containers to put the handmade gifts in. This way when the handmade soap or body scrub or whatever is finished they will have a pretty jar to use for something
