Besides sipping on hot cocoa, Mariah Carey songs playing the background, smell of fresh bakes, Christmas is synonymous to a heavy load of gift-giving. But the problem is often what to give?

Christmas is easily our favourite holiday of the season and it's now only a couple of days away, which can mean only one thing— it’s time to light up the space.

Once the candle burns out,, one can also refill the base with some wax and relight or use it as a cup in their kitchenware. A pretty good win-win right?

A book can be a well thought and meaningful gift to give someone. It is only but an extension of your love for that person.

Whether it accompanies some freshly baked cookies or dangles off of an equally special homemade ornament, your craft project will certainly get noticed.
