Feeling hot, hot, hot, hot

No not me.
Although I am feeling quite pleased with myself.
I've just completed a Christmas present for a friend of ours.
Yes I know it's only September, but I had an idea when I saw this shower gel a couple of weeks ago and just had to get it done.
A friend of G's loves spicy food and he loves cooking (yes I do know he can't eat the shower gel!)

and I knew you could buy this, so it started a theme going

and now along with those items he has a tub of Cheese and Chilli Pringles, Harissa paste, a bottle of Hot Pepper sauce, a grinder with chilli and garlic, a Moroccan tagine paste, a Cajun spice rub and a grow your own Mexican food kit all presented in a planter which he can use for his seedlings once they start sprouting. I hope he likes it. I certainly enjoyed putting it all together.

  6. Great idea. did the same for DH one year for christmas. Orange chocolate was the theme. So I brought lots of different ones.
    Its funny though as he barely touches orange chocolate now.
