How to make a present drawer

Make sure you’re prepared for Christmas by setting up a present drawer. Interesting seeds and pretty pots make a novel gift idea (pots, $15 each, from Rococo Flowers), while a fabric-covered notebook appeals to everyone (notebooks, $35.50 each, from top3 by design).

A sampler box of tea can be broken up into individual gift packs; pair each with a tea infuser ball (tea box, $80, and infusers, $3.95 each, all from T2). Beautifully wrapped soaps will always be appreciated (Claus Porto Banho soaps, from $22 each, from Studio Imports).

For foodies, make your own vanilla sugar or infused olive oils – simply add two vanilla pods to a jar of caster sugar then seal, or add chillies or herbs to a bottle of extra virgin olive oil then allow to infuse for one month. Also keep lollies, wrapping paper, sticky tape, cards and ribbons on hand.
