When you're going to a party and you have to bring a gift, you probably try to think of something unique to give. Here are some of the ideas: hihihi --> food lover will appreciate it hehe...

1. Frozen grapes (level: super duper easy) --> Basically you just buy 3 different kinds of grapes (seedless, red, green and black), then you put them inside a tuppleware container inside the freezer for 2 or 3 hours. How to wrap frozen things? The same thing like what the ice cream parlor does, put the grapes inside the gift box, layer outside the gift box with dry ice, then wrap again (should survive at least 1/2-1 hours). This one tastes sand looks like candy in the end.

2. Soaked raisin (level: unbelievably easy) --> In a glass jar (don't use plastic), soak white raisin in your favorite white wine, then put inside the fridge for up to 1 month. The raisin will become bigger and soaked, taste sweet but got alcohol sense, which is GOOD hehe... For gift, simply wrap the jar with ribbon (try cutie-shaped jar and nice ribbon for presentation)

3. Homemade infused olive oil (level: surprisingly easy) --> put fresh thyme, rosemary, black pepper, crush dried chilly into a bottle (there are some bottles with interesting shapes specially for olive oil), then pour in the olive oil, seal tight, then leave it for abour 1 week. Wrap the bottle with ribbon before you take it to the party :)
