Sometimes the holiday season feels overwhelming in the best way possible. Merry and bright and full of parties and presents and families. It also feels like there is always a need to bring something to someone or somewhere. The salt scrub can be modified to include the aromatics that you or the recipient prefer -this one with lavender and rose remind me of relaxing tea in an English garden, but orange peel, anise, anything you want works! And these truffles are absolutely delicious, extremely impressive and super easy to make. These little treats below make great hostess gifts when paired with our new Diamond Cans – and perhaps the first box in our quarterly new Books and Bottles Book Club?
