Or maybe a simple photo canvas, where the main role is played by the photo itself, without any additional decorations? This option exists too! Photo canvases are a perfect match for all occasions - wedding and engagement sessions, effectively bringing out their beauty and depth. Of course, they are also suitable for "ordinary" photos - although no photo is ordinary if it captures your favourite moments!
Unique homemade Christmas gifts - home-baked sweets
Gifts can be carved, assembled, designed and even... baked! Such as honey-scented gingerbread that is perfect as a unique homemade Christmas gift - and not just for gourmets!
All you need to make it is a good recipe, a bowl of icing and a handful of decorations. The rest is up to your imagination - it shapes both the final appearance of your cakes and the quantity. What is more, it's best to bake gingerbread in the company of friends - you're having a great time, and you're creating confectionery masterpieces for your loved ones.
That's also why it's fun to take your camera or a smartphone with you when you go gingerbread baking. Lots of unforgettable moments guaranteed!
