Santa in a Jar

A miniature Christmas scene packed in a jar!

Merry Christmas on and all. Its that time of the year when every face bears a smile and every heart is full of joy. Everything associated with Christmas is so beautiful and comforting. Though in India, it  is not popularly celebrated but still the vibes in urban India are felt around -  with churches being lit up, patisseries smoked with freshly baked plum cakes and parties going on to the wee hours of the morning.

In most offices, we have secret santa doing the rounds, wherein every employee acts as a secret santa for another employee (secretively of course). So for my secret santa gift, we decided to give santa himself!

The idea was to re-create a miniature Christmas scene in a jar filled with santa, an x-mas tree, gifts, bells, snow, etc. So all we needed was an empty jar and we bought small sized Christmas décor (that floods the markets at this time).

We put some cotton as snow at the base, then placed a mini Christmas tree in the back, flanked it with boxed gifts, with finally a small little santa standing right in front. We sealed the jar and placed a little bell around the lid.

All the joy of Christmas was packed up in this jar to bring about loads of happiness. What better than gifting santa himself, so to ask himself what gifts you desire. Ho ho ho!!!

DIY Diya Stand

Happy Diwali to one an all!

May this festive season bring you immense prosperity and joy.

We all know that diyas are an integral part of Diwali. These simple clay-baked, wick & oil candles lend the traditional warmth to the festival. I feel every house should most definitely light up a few diyas to welcome prosperity home. 

In order to arrange the diyas, a simple technique is to use your idli maker stand. The grooves of the idli maker are ideal to hold the diyas. Also, the tiered formation gives an enhanced look with diyas being stacked one on top of the other. So just pour in some vegetable oil in the diya, add a cotton wick and arrange them in each groove of the idli maker.

Light up the diyas and bring in three tiers full of prosperity.
