Here's another idea for homemade gifts from the kitchen. Nuts make an ideal snack food for the holiday season. Make a big batch, package them attractively, and give them as small gifts to your friends and neighbours.

Warm Turmeric Cinnamon Milk Spice Mix
This nutritious warm turmeric milk flavoured with ginger, cinnamon and cardamom has amazing health benefits. It may also help you sleep! Layer the spices in a little jar, attach a cinnamon stick with raffia or a ribbon, and print out the recipe tag I've created for you.

How to package homemade food gifts
- Dress up a jar! Add a festive ribbon and a gift tag. Include the recipe if you'd like, too.
- Use a gift bag. Small clear cellophane bags make an easy wrapping idea.
- Cookie tins are best for cookies. Add a layer of parchment paper between layers to protect them.
- Baskets. Everyone loves to receive a container they can re-use, and baskets make an attractive way to wrap a homemade kitchen gift. Add a teatowel inside to cushion your goodies.
Have fun creating homemade gifts in the kitchen this week!

I really think the best gifts are homemade, With the recipient in mind as you make them.

That's so true! When I'm baking cookies or making a batch of spiced nuts, I'm thinking about who I'll be giving them too!

I like this idea a lot especially since gift-giving can get expensive. These would make unique host gifts that your friends will actually use and enjoy. A very thoughtful idea
