Buying gifts are sooooo expensive. It is super hard these days to buy gifts for just about everyone.

On a low budget or need to get a quick gift for someone. Here is how it’s done:

For men:

What you will need:

• 1 mini bottle of johnny walker black
• 1 mini bottle of appleton rum (reserve or signature)
• 1 flask of coconut rum/appleton white rum
• 2 small cake plate (coloured or designed and preferably plastic)
• 1 sheet of gift tissue paper
• 1 pair of scissors
• 1 sheet or 1 yard of cellophane paper (any design)
• 1 yard of ribbon
• Optional: 2 small peanuts

DIY:

1. Lay cellophane paper on a flat surface. Use plates as gift’s base and place in the middle of the paper. (Click to see an example)
2. Fold the tissue paper until it’s about 3 inches in length. Cut in straight lines and use your hands to crimp the paper. Add 3/4 of the paper on the plates set as a base.
3. Place the bottles upright and facing 1 direction. (For more visual appeal face the bottles with their backs to each other)
4. In the 2 opposites gaps facing the front on your plates place your peanuts facing outward.
5. Gather the cellophane paper into one above the bottles and leave a small gap. Sprinkle the rest of the tissue paper in the gap.
6. Close off the gap by wrapping 1yrd/2yrds of the ribbon around the opening multiple times until around 4 inches is left. Use the other half and wrap around the same opening and knot it on the first half.
7. Use the scissors to curl the ribbon.
8. Diagonally cut top of the cellophane to make it more presentable and you’re finished.
