for those of you playing at home you will remember here i said i am trying to make/give gifts that are a bit more personal, that show a little extra effort, especially in the presentation department.
a friend of mine recently wed and moved into her first grown up home with her now husband. i put together the 'ultimate kitchen starter pack' for her new place so that when she reaches for a spatula she won't come up empty handed.
i noticed when we moved into our first new home we were rather lacking in the kitchen utensil department. as it turns out, houses do not come with utensils (or screw drivers, brooms, buckets, cloths, matches, batteries, light bulbs, pegs and a plethora of other things you just thought would be there because they were just always around in your home growing up, word to the wise - they're not)
sometimes growing up can be a steep learning curve. life used to be so simple and run so smoothly, but now there's dust bunnies in the bathroom and my towels won't dry because the house is too cold and there's ants in the kitchen that even an ant genocide hasn't fixed. bit of a tangent i know, shall we move on? yes, lets.
here are some pictures from said ultimate kitchen starter pack. i also included a donna hay cook book because without her my husband and i would be eating cereal for dinner and the box it came in for dessert.
