My two elf mummy friends and I have been planning again. An acquaintance of ours recently found out she has cancer, so Nancy (one of the aforementioned friends) bought a bunch of flowers and left them on her front porch, with a note from the elves wishing her well.

Bec and I thought that was a lovely thing to do, so we've decided that, from now on, instead of getting Christmas presents for each other, we will do something for someone in our town who needs a little extra Christmas cheer, or who deserves to get some recognition. It will be a 'secret elf' gift, left on the persons doorstep - our version of a secret Santa.

For my 'SE' gift, I made these boxes which will be filled with all those chocolates. The large one is going to our local Blue Nurses charity shop for all the wonderful volunteers there to share.


I'm so happy we've decided to do this, helping cheer others up, especially at this time of year, makes me feel good.
