Xmas idea #1

I came upon these adorable books by Penguin. Theses a whole series of them, all about different techniches/cooking tips/ recipes in the kitchen all by top chefs and foods writers. And even if you never use them to cook, they'll simply look good just sitting in your kitchen, right?

And how's this for a cute wrapping idea? Perfect for those on a budget! I mean, who needs cute paper and pretty bows when you have a garden?
