christmas presents

homemade christmas presents are the bomb. they can be really lame and no one will question it. check out these sweet deals i've been milkin:
1. headbands for your lady friends! buy five headbands for 2.89 at duane reade and wrap with ribbons.
2. make icecream. you need an icecream maker for this. luckily i've been using my friend jamie's. i bought my parents an icecream maker for christmas. hoorayy consumerism.
3. chocolate truffles! you melt quality bittersweet chocolate and you heat up heavy cream. 5:4 ratio. you can steep things like lavender, or green tea, or chai, or put vanilla etc etc etc etc in the heavy cream. then you whip it to pudding like consistency and leave it for four hours. then you can make it into beautiful balls with your hands and dip the outside in cocoa powder or if youre feeling really creative, you can use your icecube trays from your third grade flightless bird phase and make penguin shaped truffles.

i'm making a christmas present right now. it's a quilted potholder. i can't think of anything else to give chechi because she only likes expensive things.

also, mixtapes are free as well. BUT NOT FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY!!!
