Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I can't make enough sweet breads. I bake like crazy then. I also have a few I make salsa verde for. Oh and then I have a few I bake Swedish ginger cookies and put in the mail.

I was wondering what everyone does to make the presents memorable, and what their favorite gifts to give (and get!) are. This should be interesting!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I search for cute containers like Maple Syrup type pails and fill them with cookies, muffins, coffee samples. For me the simplest things make the memory like a angel decoration handmade found at a craft sale. I love receiving jams so when I get one I am tickled pink. Steph Shape in your own image.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I make Lemoncello (lemon liqueur). Funny story from last Christmas: I usually go to the dollar store and pick up pretty bottles for the lemoncello, but last year, I didn't have time to pick up a nice bottle before we were going to this party at a friends' about 4 towns away. All I had was a large mason jar. So I filled the mason jar, decorated the lid with some fancy paper and ribbon, and took it to the party. The husband of the couple was out walking the dogs when we arrived. The wife told me to set the mason jar down on the counter by the door. The husband walked in from outside, took one look at the mason jar and said really loudly and dripping with sarcasm, so that everyone in the house could hear: " Oh this is nice! Someone brought us a urine sample! " It's a good thing the whole gang of us has a really good sense of humour, if not on the wacky side. Anyway, we all had some " urine sample " after dinner and it was a big hit. I had to write out the recipe 3 times. Cheers!

This > should be interesting! > I am a candy and fudge maker, and I like to paint and decorate my own tins, or older ones that I find at the thrift store; they have a wealth of tins, all shapes and sizes. I found some so very old that they were actually made of tin; a little spray paint and artistry, and you have a perfect gift. Needless to say, only decorate the outside of the tin, and choose your paint wisely. Hot glue will hold all sorts of neat stuff on there, and popcorn still makes a good packing for the box. As for me; send me pickled anything. Gosh, I love pickles and relish, and pickles, and jellies, and pickles, but mainly, pickles. Yummmm, yummmmm !!!!!! Blessings, and may cool days be here soon, Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
