Who’s looking for some last-minute, heart-felt, budget-friendly holiday gift ideas? I know I certainly am. Of course, the most obvious gift to give all your friends and entire family is a copy of my new book! You can even buy it online and have it delivered straight to your house… Nothing could be easier, what are you waiting for?
But perhaps you’re looking for something a little more personal, homemade even? One of my favorite gifts to give and receive are homemade sweets in creative packaging. A new tea mug is a much better gift when filled with freshly baked cookies, and even a normal glass jar turns into a Christmas treasure when decorated with ribbon and filled with homemade chocolates. So get imaginative and have fun with it! Below I’ve put together some great gift recipes from the blog and packaging ideas I’ve gleaned from the web, so get baking!
