Home-made gifts
Do you make any of your Christmas gifts by hand? Do you have the time to do it?
I used to make alot more gifts than I do now. (But maybe that was a factor of my being a dirt-poor student….) And I’m sorta in the mood to start again.
Which is why I’m considering making this from the Gluten Free Mom:

Or… any of these ideas!
I know I love me some scrubbing sugar! And I’ve collected a ton of “spa day” recipes for bath bombs, salts, scrubs, and lotions over the years. I even have most of the makings, and the bottles and jars to put them in!
I think I know what I might be doing this weekend…
How about you? Do you have any home-made things you’re making (or have already made, you go-getter, you!)

Every year I make a bunch of fudge for Christmas. It takes care of all those little gifts for people like teachers, co-workers, neighbors, etc. On this year’s list is; chocolate, peanut butter, white chocolate peppermint, maple walnut, cinnamon pecan, and kahlua. I got a large lot of candy boxes from ebay, and last year I snagged small paper candy cups at Michaels for a ridiculously small price. The kids get in the act by decorating the boxes before I put them together and fill them.
My co-workers are already clamoring for fudge and peanut-butter bon bons! (I’ll be making these next weekend…)
