inexpensive home made christmas gift ideas

[YorkieShadow]

You can make jar recipes like already mentioned and or make rock candy and buy cheap Christmas tins to put them in.
YOu can buy see through vaces and fill with one string of white or colored lights and popuri and put a dollie on top with a ribbon tied around it, They make beautiful gifts.

And for the Naughty ones or as a joke you can
Fill a baggie with marshmellows and put a little card in the bag that says.
You've been NAUGHTY
So heres the scoop
Nothing for you But
SNOWMAN POOP and draw a little snowman on the card too.
I made a few of these. lol


Or you can use choc covered raisens and Change the Snowman poop to Raindeer poop. lol

Speaking of that...I am making my grandfather some nut mixes in a jar. (once I get some recipes)

I just saw these recipes online - check better homes and gardens they had all different recipes for these

I've made that stuff for years and that's what everyone asks for every year. It's so easy to do but time consuming since I've added maccarroons, covered cookies, fudge, but everything is easy and most important CHEAP! I get the colored ziplocks and put them in cookie tins (get those butter cookies with the cute tins and use the cookies for the gift and then use the tins to give the gift)
