Milk and Honey

A couple of months back I put together a Christmas present of these goodies for a chilli loving friend. The next challenge was what to give R's wife S.
S loves reading and watching movies, she and G can talk for hours about films they have both seen and then recommend to each other.
As with the Capsicum shower gel this cache of goodies started off with the milk shower gel and was quickly followed by the honey shampoo and then the milk and honey body butter. A jar of honey and mustard marinade and a Crunchie completed the food side of things. To satisfy the reader in her I choose The Secret of Bees (a book I had read earlier this year with my library book group) and on the film front a DVD of Milk which G suggested. To round it all off I found a pair of bee patterned undies! I'm really chuffed with it all. We tend to get together with these friends and their 2 children on Christmas eve and open our gifts to each other then, I can't wait to see their faces, I hope they like it all!

    I don't know if you've seen Milk, but it's one of the best films I've seen this year; really good choice and really worth a watch!

  11. Liza, Sorry if my message sounded a bit spy in the House Commons-ish! I was hoping to make you the little badge you admired and send it as a surprise. LLX

  13. Wow, what a great present and so thoughtful too! I've never heard of the film, so I must google it and find out more.
    Thanks for your lovely comment at mine :-)
    We've got some blue sky here today and I don't remember when we last saw it - the frost has pretty much melted away too. It's not so pretty out there but easier to get about!
    Happy days to you,
    D x
