Christmas is a time for giving. But what do you get the person that already has everything? An edible festive gift can work a treat!
A Traditional Hamper
Make a personalized gift by putting all your loved one’s favorite treats in a hamper. This is a much better way than buying one that is pre-packed. If you are feeling really creative, you can make the container yourself. Try covering an old shoebox with bright wrapping paper or stick on your favorite photographs. Get some cellophane wrapping to finish it off.
Salted Pretzel Toffee
Nothing says Christmas quite like toffee. There are lots of simple recipes online, so it’s simply a matter of picking a favorite. Try a recipe packed full of chocolate and macadamias, to make them look and taste extra special. Either pack in a little box, or perhaps use a Christmas plate. Presentation is everything.
Christmas Pudding Vodka
This is the perfect festive gift for someone that likes to raise a glass at Christmas. You will be able to find this ready-made in shops, but if you want to make it yourself, it’s not difficult. Just do not leave till the last minute, as the ingredients will need to sit for a week to get that perfect taste.
Free-From Goodies
If you have friends and family that are vegan or have specific food allergies, making them a festive treat will be much appreciated. You can have fun making fudge, truffles, even mince pies, all of which have the appropriate carefully selected ingredients.
Recycle Your Jars
Empty jars can be filled with a range of treats, from sweet to savory. Try mixing roasted pecans and chick-peas, or peppermint bark. Again, remember that effort into packaging will go a long way. Why not make your own personalized labels?
