I have seen homemade cookies, etc in jars for a long time but I have never gifted them, nor have I ever received one. Time to try it out.
One of the people on our gift list this year is a little boy. I look around at all the stuff our kiddo has. While I'm sure he likes toys, I bet he has lots. I decided to try to give him an experience rather than more stuff. Little kids like to cook, and I already made him a fish hat last year; so this this might be something sort-of-handmade that he might appreciate.
These are the three recipes I went with:
It took an hour to put all three together, write up the cards and tidy up. It also cleaned out my pantry. I used up the last of the: chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, flour, and brown sugar. Not bad. I'm going to try to make him an apron and chef's hat to go with it.
Oh, I can post this 'cause the kid cannot read.
Those are great gifts. My friend gives them out sometimes, and for people who have a lot of STUFF, they're a great thing to get!
