As I sit here in my Melbourne apartment, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the festive season, I find myself pondering the art of gift-giving. We’ve all been there - scrambling for last-minute presents, overspending on unnecessary items, and wondering if our loved ones will truly appreciate the effort. But what if I told you that this year, I’m taking a different approach? A Melbourne Christmas, if you will, where homemade gifts on a budget take center stage.
