We’re having a holiday here in Malaysia tomorrow for the Deepavali festival so I’ll leave you with this week’s Christmas garlands ideas and Baked Bree’s ‘perfect Salted Caramels‘ recipe for a chewylicious Christmas gift.

Have a good weekend everyone! For our friends celebrating Deepavali, wishing you a warm, joyful time of reunion and festivity!

If you’ve not downloaded the Christmas Creatures from Mibo Studio before, now’s the time as they’re giving their 2010 Advent Calendar free with any download purchased from their site. You may just go wild with their Wild Bunch too!

Baked Bree has this ooey, gooey toffee blondies recipe that will make a sweet, crunchy Christmas gift, complete with recipe card. Have a good weekend everyone!

A simple but lovely gift topper you can make yourself. The variations are quite endless if you try with different paper texture, pattern, color and shape so there’s no reason to say you cant. Step-by-step tutorial here by Evie.

I revisited this DIY apple shape book tutorial by Sheila and though it may not be quite suitable as a gift topper, I thought it makes a charming & practical gift by recycling unused diary, planner or notepad. Maybe a good gift idea for this coming Christmas. Have a relaxing weekend everyone!

Forget about rushing to the malls to get that last minute Christmas gift/s – these pretty gingerbread houses that perch on the rim of your mug will make delightfully unique hand-baked gift. How-to from Not Martha.

Some more gift ideas for Christmas –  all found in the shop.
