Even Christmas presents are bespoke/personalized!! I really appreciate them because they are really made with LOVE 🙂 and made by the giver personally. It’s not only making the product, but choosing the packaging, printing the message and designing the sticker. Thank you Chut Cuerva for your Gianduja Spread!
Homemade Cheese Pimento by Mel Francisco! YUM!!!

And from my best friend, Rina. She did not make the Truffle Honey from Borough Market 🙂 But she carefully thought out the packaging 🙂 Even Packaging is BESPOKE!
She bought the sack then had the stickers/labels made. Put it in a brown bag and also put together information about the product and pinned it with a mini clothes pin
Homemade Almond Chocolate Chip cookies by my sister in law, Margs
My friend, Toots Magsino, printed cards with her collage works of art ( she also sold them) So nice to have that personalised touch from the giver
The year 2014 was a year of BESPOKE 🙂 Of course the concept existed forever but I thought last year was really more prominent
