I had a blast making baskets this year to use for gift baskets or just a fancy basket by itself as a gift. I honestly never knew you could buy kits to make your own baskets!

Another note – I grew up in a home with a crafty mom who loved to garden, cook, bake, and create. Every Christmas, we made candy, cookies, and other baked goods to give away as gifts. There were always hand-made ornaments, wreaths, and other items, we made and gave as gifts. I didn’t know at the time it was because of budget; I just knew I loved the time spent with my mom and everyone loved the gifts they received. There is something truly special about a hand-made gift.

The best gift I ever received was a hand-made cookbook from my mom. She spent months gathering favorite recipes from my childhood, “secret” family recipes, and some of her favorites over the years. She typed them up – or photocopied hand-written recipes from family members, put them all in a binder with photos and scapbooking stickers/notions, etc. She hand wrote a letter about the process and what some of it meant to her and put that in the front. For the cover, she simply cross-stitched “recipes from mom.” She passed away 2 years later. This will always be a treasured gift.

I usually make pumpkin rolls and freeze them to giveaway, (an idea given to me by a friend). We are giving away deer summer sausage this year since my husband got a deer. We find it’s very useful for people during the holidays since they tend to entertain a lot. Thanks for the ideas!

On year I made 15 yarn dolls for my younger cousins and sister. I gave them each a unique hair style. They were very cute.

Home made bath products such as bath salts with relaxing lavender essential oils are other examples of Christmas presents that will be used.
