I love giving gifts from the kitchen! Yummy, inexpensive and consumable so no pile of “stuff” left over after Christmas. Instead of giving more stuff, whip up one of these 10 yummy homemade Christmas gifts that anyone would love to receive!
Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas
- Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix in a pretty jar tied with a ribbon to attach a spoon. You can also add marshmallows and label it as “Snowman Poop”.
- A nice tin or tray filled with homemade cookies. Dollar Stores often carry beautiful tins that are very inexpensive. They can then be reused by your recipient next year. Some great cookie choices are chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter crunchies, magic cookie bars, Merry cherry cookies or iced sugar cookies. In fact, I’ve put together over 100 cookie recipes you should try!
- A pan full of fudge. Ooey, gooey, chocolate goodness. What more can I say?
- A loaf of quick bread wrapped in cellophane & a nice bow. Good ones to try are cranberry banana bread, banana bread, lemon loaf, or whole wheat beer bread.
- A jar full of Cookie Mix to be enjoyed after the holidays.
- A cellophane bag of Peppermint Bark. Yum!
- A bag or a tin of Nuts and Bolts (aka Chex Mix). This makes a great savoury option for Christmas giving.
- Looking for something different? How about a basket of breakfast muffins? Try Blueberry muffins, Morning Glory muffins or Banana Chocolate Chip muffins.
- How about a tin of Praline Pecans and Cranberries?
- Looking for an even healthier treat? A basket full of homemade granola bars will please even the pickiest gift recipient.
What are your favorite homemade Christmas gifts to give?
