DIY- LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFTING IDEAS.

Hey guys! How have you all been? Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I love the whole idea of it. But unlike others, some of us are still confused about what to gift our loved ones. So here are some easy DIYS which will make the whole gifting process so easy!

1. SCENTED CANDLE: I had posted a diy on scented candle sometime ago. Check it here

2. WHITE CHOCOLATE BARK WITH BERRY SWIRL: This is very easy to make and tastes and looks so christmasy!

Ingredients:

2 cups cooking white chocolate
3 tbsp mixed berry compote

Method:

In a double boiler melt the white chocolate and spread in a tray lined with baking paper.

Pour one teaspoon of the compote after some gap.

With the help of a toothpick, draw swirls and slowly slowly the compote will start forming a design..

Chill it in the fridge and roughly break into pieces. Enjoy yourself or gift it.

3. HONEY CHILI SAUCE: I personally love this sauce. It is so flavorful. You can use this as a dipping sauce or mix it in your veggies or however you like. (sorry for the bad picture quality)

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped garlic

2 tbsp chopped ginger

3 spring onions finely chopped

3 dry red chili roughly chopped

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp chili sauce

3 tbsp tomato sauce

2 tbsp vinegar

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp corn flour

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Salt

Pepper

Method:

In a saucepan, pour some oil and sauce ginger, garlic and spring onion bulb until brown.

Add the sauces, salt, pepper, red chili and some water and let it simmer for 10 minutes

Mix cornflour with a little bit water and add to the simmer

Finally add honey and sesame seeds give a good mix and pour in a jar.

4. CHOCOLATE COATED OREOS: Sometimes I feel, that during festive season everyone has so much lavish food that a simple thing like this is a good change. I used strawberry oreos because of their heavenly match, but you can choose any flavor you like.

Ingredients:

Oreo biscuit

Melted chocolate

Strawberry essence.

Method:

Mix essence in chocolate and dunk in the oros one by one. Let it cool.

You may add sprinklers if you like.

5. COCONUT OIL: Yep, you read it right. Coconut oil is so easy to make at home and all you need is one coconut. This is actually my sisters recipe and when I tried to make it, it was just so easy.

Ingredients:

Coconut

Method:

Extract all the milk from the coconut and seal it in an airtight container.

Leave it in a cool and dry place for 12 hours and then put it in the fridge for another 6-8 hours.

Take a clean saucepan (you don’t want the dirt to mix with your oil) and transfer the layer above the water in it.

Cook it on medium flame until all oil is seperated.

Let it cool and transfer in a jar.

Use as required.

Tips:

Make sure you extract your milk with as much water as required.

When you remove it from fridge, it may stink a bit but don’t worry.
