Homemade Christmas gifts food

Food gifts are always a hit for the holidays because people love to eat. Giving someone something they came make later is thoughtful too because Christmas time can be busy. I love the idea of making mixes or things people can cook in January when they are cold, broke, and want a family activity.

• Another great idea for Christmas food gifts is pies, bread, cookies, and other things people can serve for holiday meals. Who doesn’t want a homemade pie at the Christmas table?
• Homemade Granola (kids can help with this one too!) makes a great gift people can enjoy now or later.
• Soup Mixes in a Jar are wonderful for friends and acquaintances to make later on a cold winter day.

• Cookies are sure to please any Christmas gift recipient. Who wouldn’t want some world-famous delicious cookies!
• Monster Cookies
• Cowboy Cookies in a Jar
• Seasoning mixes and flavorings make beautiful gifts that can be used in so many ways in so many dishes. You could even include recipes for how to use them.
• Taco Seasoning Mix

If you can sew, home-sewn gifts make wonderful Christmas gifts straight from the heart. I would love to have this talent or to receive anything from someone who does.
