This is a wonderful article, thanks for sharing this, you have given me many ideas !!!
I do make homemade gifts. I make scarves, hats, and heating pads mostly.
Great article! My son and I have already made rock candy in many flavors and colors, as one of our gifts to family and friends.
I'm also making doggy biscuits for all the furkids in the family.
I am on a limited income, so this year my daughter and I are going to bake brownies for all of our nieghbors and friends. We already got a bunch of brownie mixes and chocolate frosting in the cabinet ready for baking day. We also bought several different fun Christmas sprinkles. Then yesterday I went to the dollar store and bought several platters with snowman on them for only a dollar a piece. So not only will they get a big batch of Christmas brownies, they will also get a snowman platter!!
It's inexpensive, fun and creative for my daughter, and a nice gesture for neighbors and friends!
I am glad that you got inspired by the links
