Holiday Gift-Giving Solved

Let's be honest: stretching money during the Holiday Season can be a challenge. You wonder about what kind of thoughtful gifts you can give while keeping an eye on the budget. Well, I can help with a theme-centered gift around a subject everyone loves at this time of year: food! And, it fits beautifully with our Christmas Candy Gift Basket!!

Universally, Chocolate is the hands-down favorite of treats. Why not make a collection of some fabulous recipes & turn it into a warm, heart-felt gift. It's easy, fun, gender-friendly and the very best of it is the cost: only $5!

Here's how you do it:

Using colored paper, paste/tape the recipes then put them in a colored folder or one of those small albums with plastic inserts. Want to be more crafty? Use yard, ribbon or lace to tie your recipes together. Finally, make a label for the cover - anything from the recipient's name to a more personal note or even a photo or pretty card.

This is a perfect gift for family, friends, co-workers, teachers, club members, neighbors, name them! You may even be surprised at how creative you can be! I did this last year & what a triumph! As it turned out, I ended up using photos of places around the world for one of my gifts, pictures from favorite movies for another & Disney characters for another! Whatever you choose this terrific, useful gift that will remind the receiver of you! From your household to another it shows love & caring on every page ... and that is always appreciated!
