Christmas is a great time to share and remember your loved ones. Every year we visit our friends during Christmas and carry our surprise gifts. We love exchanging gifts and we also make sure that we send some gifts to the underprivileged. So this year, I thought of personalizing all my gifts with the Christmas theme using our new HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4535 Printer.
We also wanted to gift only organic products, so we chose to bake our own cakes, cookies and even make our own little bath oils and salts. We purchased handmade soaps which are completely organic. Below are a few Simple DIY ideas which you can use to personalize your gifts.
