CITRUS & GREEN

Secret Santa gifting gone extreme! Challenged with creating a gift which was no more than thirty dollars, partially homemade, girly, and long-lasting - and with my own personal challenge of making the gift appropriate, useful and well tailored to the recipient, this is what I created.  

Surrounded by leftover greens, eucalyptus, rosemary and citrus from a recent shoot, I wanted to use the bits and share the wonderful fragrance which is so quintessential Christmas. Besides using them for packing fill, I created three different infusions; two infused gin mixtures (Ada loves gin) and a sugar scrub (oil free, because Ada despises the feel of oil.) To fulfill the long-lasting piece of the challenge, they were all packaged into beautiful Weck jars. The sugar-scrub was created to satisfy the girly, as was the idea of filling the box with green and citrus bits. The unwrapping was truly an experience and Ada loved all the little pieces as well as the fragrant smell the greens mixture created. Success!
