Christmas is just around the corner and everyone is trying to think of the perfect gifts for friends and family. Giving a gift of your time and care by making wonderful homemade gifts of baking or preserves could be just the thing.
Maybe the kids will still want the latest play station game but home-baking makes great gifts for teachers, neighbours, workmates and those friends with everything! All it takes is a little creative flair to present your gift with some Christmas spirit.
So spread a little love this Christmas and let Chelsea inspire you to make those special moments.
