Reader Question / Crafty (And Non-Kitschy) Gift Ideas
Q. Jordan Reid, I need your help! I love crafting...what are some awesome DIY (and cheap) gift ideas for the holidays?
Spot Dessert Bar / Yuletide Log Shoot
On Wednesday afternoon I swung by the rustic, adorable Spot Dessert Bar (on St. Mark's Place) to film a segment with celebrity chef Pichet Ong (of P*ONG and The Bubble Lounge) in which he taught me how to make a Yuletide Log.
Obvious Clothing / Last Week’s Shoot
Over on Obvious' blog, you'll find pics from the shoot that Francesca and I did last week on my rooftop. Francesca styled a look centered around an Obvious piece for each of us, and then showed how you can add layers and accessories to take the look from sun to snow.
Crafty Gift / Brownies-In-A-Jar
I've mentioned before that one of my favorite ways to use Mason jars is to whip up recipes-in-a-jar to give as gifts, and reader Adeline just sent me a link to a gorgeous recipe for Brownies-In-A-Jar. (The article also suggests jarring pickles to give as a gift...and I have the perfect pickle recipe for you right here!)
BROWNIES-IN-A-JAR
Ingredients:
1 quart sized jar
2⁄3 tsp salt
1 1⁄8 cup flour, divided
1⁄3 cup cocoa powder
2⁄3 cup brown sugar

When I Was Little…
...I snuck out every Christmas morning at 4am to open my stocking and to sit in the glow all alone, just for a while.
