Sal's 30th Birthday

It's my youngest sister's birthday soon so I'd been trying to think of what to get her for it. I really enjoy making presents as they're a bit more personal so I decided to make her a hamper. She loves coffee (I can't stand the stuff) and also reading so I made that my theme.

I found a great recipe for Chocolate Brownie Biscotti (http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/6160/brownie-biscotti.aspx) which supposedly goes well with coffee. Perfect!



The biscotti was easy to make and delicious. Well, you have to sample one when you're baking!


I bagged up the biscotti in a cellophane bag with ribbon to make it look fancy. I'd bought Sal a book from her Amazon wishlist so that went in the hamper too. I added a bar of her favourite chocolate, some more biscuits, a cafetiere and a few packets of coffee.



Next I wrapped up the hamper in cellophane, tied it up with more ribbon and wrote out a tag.


I really hope she likes it and doesn't find out about the biscotti I sampled :D
