IN THE CAN

Canisters are great for presenting foodie gifts such as meringues and homemade biscuits or small items like jewellery or a beautiful ceramic ornament or candleholder (all carefully wrapped in tissue paper, of course). Kitchen canisters are easy to come by at homeware stores or keep an eye out at your local op-shop for ones.

STEP ONE Give your canister a light clean, then line it with tissue or baking paper to prevent any sticky residue or damage to the inside.

STEP TWO Arrange your gifts snugly inside, then close the lid and attach a nice gift tag with a ribbon or piece of leather cord.
