Some of you may know the story or not and some of you may know who Jacinda and Scott are but here is a brief summary, so Jacinda has a son called Kyle who is the same age and best friends with my brother Ethan, they have known each other since they were three years old. Mum and Jacinda became good friends they both had another son each at the same time, Jacinda's is Logan, my brother is Louie and they are besties. Jacinda is my baby brother Mowgli's godmother. Now Jacinda is originally from Yorkshire but we all lived in Leicester, been on holidays together, partied together. Jacinda. met the love of her life: Scott from Scotland. They moved to Yorkshire, you will have seen that they have twins now, I have done blog posts on it before. Scott got me a job up in Yorkshire and it was a bit of a mad rush and I was offered their spare bedroom until I got settled. I really wanted to get them a lovely gift to say thank you but also a gift that is meaningful however what do you get so this is exactly what I got.
So when I thought about the fit I thought I would get a personalised bag instead of a gift bag so I contacted an artist on Etsy called Minii Vanilla and asked for her to do a picture of their family, then got the picture printed onto two tote bags plus the wording 'One Step Closer' which is a tattoo on Jacinda's foot in a similar font but also it's their wedding song printed on the other side.

H&M Guns N Roses Sweet Child O'Mine t-shirts for Isla and Iona who are Scott and Jacinda's 1 year old twins, I have a Guns N Roses t-shirt so I thought we could match.
Edinburgh Preserve Hot & Spicy Sauce Collection is mainly for Scott, spicy sauce is a thing that we both have in common, we love them so when I saw in John Lewis this Edinburgh range I thought it was perfect for Scott the Scot.
Scott and Jacinda love gin and their favourite brand is Edinburgh Gin Distillery so I got them Edinburgh Gin Distillery Rhubarb & Ginger, I know Jacinda likes rhubarb.
I remember talking to Scott about Irn Bru and how they are getting rid of the original version so when I came across a pack of 8 I had to get them.
In their house they always have the Walkers Max Strong crisps as well as snacks so I got them a few, chocolates they can all share but Freddos for the twins, I know Jacinda loves Drumstick Squashies but also treated them to some Yorkshire Mixtures. I know Scott loves Reese's and I am sure both of them like salted caramel.
I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Scott, Jacinda and their kids for having me, for taking care of me and for being there for me, this year has been a big thing for me and without them I wouldn't have got such a good opportunity and grow as a person.
