Homemade Spirits.
I’m only speaking for myself here, but my holiday budget is tighter this year than it’s been in some time. I’m talking pre-career. The nice thing about that is that it’s made me think about the gifts I’m giving even more than I normally would. Starting today I’ll be sharing some ideas for handcrafted gifts to make and give.
Sure, I could buy a friend a bottle of their favorite alcohol at the liquor store, but something homemade might be even better. And cost a little less. And be a little cooler, just think of all the bottling possibilities!

November 30, 2010 at 11:20 amI’m looking forward to these posts! My family vowed a $10 limit this year which basically means handmade. I’ve got everyone figured out but my darn brother! I could bake him something but all the others are non-edible gifts and I’d feel bad at the impermanence of his. Hope you’ve got some ideas!
