Plastic Wrap and Fabric Ribbon
Homemade breads make a great gift. It doesn’t matter if it’s loaves you’ve made with your bread machine or ones that you’ve sat home all day to allow for rising. Quick breads such as banana and pumpkin are always a big hit. It you’ve got tons to bake, the mini-loaves are the way to go.
Drinking glass
This is like a double gift. The people receiving get a reusable glass filled with chunks of fudge or any other sweet.
Design your own Christmas Basket
Designed specifically for the person receiving it – use your imagination – some suggestions include:
• Pasta, a bottle of their favorite wine, some candles (for candlelight dinner) a wine pairing book and also a recipe book of different kind of pastas.
• For the sweetest Christmas gift basket ever, put together a basket containing caramel corn, Jordan almonds, gourmet cookies
• Fruit and nut basket
• Chocolate and candy
• Coffee
Giving Food as Gifts
• New heavy decorated boxes with tissue paper lining. Don’t forget you can buy mini paper liners to put your gift in or you can stack your cookies or candies in rows standing them on their sides. One last important thing don’t forget to tie the box closed with a pretty wired-ribbon bow.
• Plates that can be bought from thrift shops, antique shops and dollar stores make a great presentation. Buy your decorated Saran wrap at a dollar store, sit the plate of cookies on a large piece of it and bring up on all sides of the plate and tie with a ribbon with wire in it.
• If you are making dry ingredients as gifts then a bottle or jar is appropriate for a bottle just tie ribbons, raffia or twine around the neck of each bottle. Attach a homemade gift tag or small ornament. For a jar cut a circle of fabric, tissue or wrapping paper 3″ to 4″ larger than the jar lid. Hold the circle in place with a rubber band and then tie a ribbon over the rubber band.
Create your own personal tags
• Personalize your gift tags!
• Start with scrapbook paper, cardboard, cookie cutters, felt, wood or pre-made tags.
• Special gift wrap cutting scissors are available at many department and craft stores.
• Then start adding your own special touches with glitter, ribbon, beads, stickers, puffy paint, or markers.
• Save your holiday cards and turn them into next year’s gift tags – just cut out the design or desired shape, thread and label it.
