Jelly Jars, marshmallows, construction paper, ribbon, peppermint candies, hot cocoa mix
Post by Sharon
It's a year where something handmade means more than ever as many of us are observing social distancing, even with family. Being frugal is a great motivator, but perhaps the best motivator is that you are creating either a future heirloom or filling a holiday need like the hot cocoa mix and practical jars above.
Irresistible edibles
sugar cookie mix, M&Ms and pretzels
Some candy canes, ribbon, and candy bars
Hot cocoa stirring spoons loaded with melted chocolate, peanut butter, white chocolate, sprinkles, mini marshmallows
candy canes with melted chocolate and sprinkles
butter cookies, white icing with marshmallow head and decorative frosting
Reindeer cupcakes
cookie boxes
Consider some of these favorites

cranberry and pistachio biscotti
handmade gifts
consider these -
bath salts (epsom salt and essential oil) in a jar
macrame, needlepoint, crochet item
carved or burned wood sign
clear bulbs with feathers
handmade-vibe gifts for the not-so-handy gift giver
and
winter-scented essential oils
gift card pillow boxes
Theme gifts
Theme gifts are a blast. Consider picking one element and making everything built from it.
Examples
Ginger - ginger ale, ginger tea, ginger cookies, ginger room spray, ginger bath oil
Tea - tea mixes, tea ball, antique tea cup and saucer, British biscuit assortment in a tin, lemon curd in a jar
Chocolate - chocolate body cream, hot chocolate mix, chocolate cookies, chocolate covered cranberries
Dare to Dream - lottery tickets and a bag of fortune cookies
Tis the season to consider individuals and what makes them quirky and unique. Honor the inner geek!
