Garden gifts: Have yourself a fruity, boozy Christmas, for free

Idon’t know if you have the kind of friends that you could safely give gifts of home-made things in jars to, as Christmas presents. There are always a few pals that might appreciate a homemade body scrub in a chunky jar, or a little hamper made up of a jam, or chutney and maybe even a ferment or two.

If you want to give homemade, hipster presents then one way of getting away with it is to give gifts that are boozy.

As a nation obsessed with boozing, especially over the Christmas period, it’s impressive to get a present that was not only made by you, but also looks cool and funky and may just get you a little bit tipsy,too.
