I've just been introduced to the idea of a Burr Basket, have you heard of them? That's how I've seen it written, but I assume it's like a Brrrrrr Basket, because it's something for the cold weather.
A Burr Basket is a gift hamper filled with lovely, often luxury, items to help make the winter months more cosy, like a fancy Christmas stocking. Now, were I to go out and buy all the bits and bobs for a basket I could end up spending a small fortune, but how about making one without shopping? Not necessarily a physical basket of stuff, but collecting together the nicer things, things that are kept for best, alongside things that only come out in the winter.
I'm thinking things like a winter/festive themed mug, favourite pyjamas, the nice body scrub that's too nice for weekly use, an area where all the stuff to make a fancy hot drink are kept together - cocoa powder, vanilla sugar, cinnamon and marshmallows on a cute tray. Choosing something cosy or engrossing from the to be read pile, revisiting an old favourite, or taking a trip to the library for something new.
That's a nice no or minimal spend project isn't it, romancing life.
