*Homemade cocktail Kit*

A homemade cocktail kit is funny, cheap and thoughtful if your secret santa has a particular drink they love. These little bottles (and the lime) are for a cosmopolitan (yes, just like Carrie). This is actually for my best friend, who loves cosmo's but can never afford them, so I thought this was cute.

*Bind your own picture book*

*DIY teacup candle picture*

This is a how-to for another time, as it is a long process. But again, if you search around the internet there are many great tutorials, especially on blogs.

Binding your own book is surprisingly easy and quick, and of course the materials are very cheap. Type in 'how to bind your own book' into Youtube and there are hundreds of tutorials. For my secret santa I am going to fill it with lots of photos and messages, but I think you could

play around with it as a gift idea for your family or partner as well. Of course you can go and buy a book, but this looks like you really made an effort and they look kind of cutesy and childlike when they're done.

This is the secret santa gift I would like someone to get me as it's cute as anything, not too expensive, but very, very thoughtful.
