Holiday Gift-Giving Time Is Approaching...


Recommended Posts

..or encroaching, depending on how you feel about it, lol.

~

Homemade gifts are fun and easy on the pocket-book, for sure... and mean so much as it involves your effort, creativity and time ~

I thought we can share some 'homemades' here ...

I have a few new gift-ideas, as I'm sure many of you do too ~

We can drop them in here...

You know how fast time flies when we're prepping for the holidays, so ~

I'll be dropping some in here and I hope you'll join in too!

Over the next few weeks, I'll put some simple-to-make bodycare gifts, some ideas for gift-baskets, and glass beading do-dads for ornament icicles, etc., and bracelets for all ages...how about sharing some your ideas too ~

Feel free ~ ok

Good Idea Ginger---

When my family was young we always made gifts for each other, then it sort of went to buying things for a bunch of years, when the last kid moved past toy age,(although I did enjoy making toys and games), we started making things again.Its been that way for about 10 years now-- In my book its alot better that way.

Good idea. My family always does homemade gifts, just because it's a fun way to do something together.

My mom makes the best pralines anybody ever tasted, so I make up alot of praline gift baskets. Mom, me, and the kids, nieces and nephews included, always schedule a baking-gift making day together. Everybody brings their list of who they wanna make something for, mom, girls and I get the supplies together, and off we go.

It's way too much fun for one family to have.

everyone in my family bakes and trades cookies and brownies... except my spousal unit... she makes everyone "buckets" of her pico de gallo (I don't know how to spell it)... it's really good... and she also makes those little powdery crescent shaped Mexican cookies...

... I've been here and I've been there and I've been in between...

Mom's the one who makes the pralines, not moi! I just watch usually, and stand by with the plastic wrap. I've tried it, but somehow they just don't come out the same. It' one of those Mom mysteries that I'll never figure out.

And M is still in charge of drinking the rum. icon_biggrin.gif:D-->
