Simple Homey Gifts You May Consider
Tea towels
I personally can’t get enough of these beautifully designed towels. I think it’s fun to pick them up when traveling, to have on hand as a gift for a host, because of their unique variety. I love the Swedish designed ones – let’s face it, those Swedes are all about design in everything they do.
Serving spoons/forks
how many holiday dinners have you had to use an old soup spoon or burnt wooden spoon for the mashed potatoes because you needed one more serving utensil? I never buy them for myself and so wish I had more. ??·
an obvious choice, but who doesn’t love flowers? I think small bouquets are the nicest for dinner parties. Something as simple as hyacinth with a pretty ribbon tied around them.
with a pretty (perhaps jadeite) pie plate as part of the gift. Cobblers and crumbles are great for everyone to taste
.
Whenever you ask “what can I bring?” and your host says “oh just yourself,” don’t believe it! Always bring something. Even if it’s a bottle of wine…NEVER go empty handed.

To make hair shines more natural, some ingredients may be put and mixed together with henna to strengthen the color result. Some of them are :
(1) eggs
to get a more shiny hair, add 1 egg into henna paste before apply it on hair piece

plain yoghurt is functioned as moisture. You may add 2 spoonful of plain yoghurt to henna paste. Yoghurt is very good to be used in dry and reclace hair.

Goldie and chopper color of hair can be reached by adding 2 teaspoon of vinegar into the henna paste.

In addition to water, you may mix tea into your henna paste. Use 3 teabags to strengthen the color. You may choose black tea or Ceylon tea for brown hair.
