PERSONALIZED HOLIDAY GIFTS

Nothing is more inviting than receiving a gift designed especially for you. Consider some of the following suggestions for holiday gift giving. They are as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Types of Gifts

• Home baked cookies of any kind.
• Mini loaves of breads such as banana, pumpkin, poppy seed, etc.
• Candies such as fudge, divinity, peanut brittle, etc.

Packaging

• Cellophane bags.
• Small plates wrapped in colored cellophane.
• Small decorative tins or baking pans.

Ribbons and Notes

Use the appropriate colored ribbons with notes of appreciation or holiday greetings written especially to the person to whom you are giving the gift.

Special Touch

• Tuck in a tea bag, apple cider bag, or coffee bag with the cookies or breads.
• Tie a candy cane under the ribbon at Christmas time.
• For children, include a tiny toy.

Some of these items can be baked ahead of time and frozen. Thaw, wrap and deliver personally to someone who needs a little holiday cheer or someone who has done something special for you.
