last-minute (and inexpensive) gifts đ you can make
|
As I'm writing this, there's a fire going in the wood stove, the house is still and quiet, and I've been sipping cozy drinks all day long. Hot tea, hot toddy, glĂŒhwein... and I'm pretty much gonna be doing this for the rest of the weekend since I just finished wrapping all of our family's Christmas presents today! (I had to hustle to get it done since the kids will be home all day, every day, for winter breakâstarting tomorrow.) I even have a couple of "just in case" gifts ready to go for the holiday parties we're expecting to attend. But before you think I'm an overachiever đ most years I wrap the kids' gifts the night before Christmas, or maybe during the day if my husband takes them out of the house for a few hours. And sometimes I forget how many teachers and staff members there are to thank (this year, a whopping 15!) or I want to leave a small token for our neighbors or delivery drivers. That's when I reach into my bag of "tricks"âthat is, my no-fail collection of easy, inexpensive, last-minute gifts I can make in no time at all, but that still feel special. If you're in need of a holiday gift, thank you gift, host/hostess gift, or just love the thought of a homemade gift, here are my favorite ones to whip up. (You'll notice that most of them are edible, because I think those are the best gifts of allâespecially if you don't want to add to the clutter of Christmas.) P.S. Got a foodie or outdoor lover on your gift-giving list? Send one of my books to their doorstep! đ (It's never too late for books, in my opinion.) |
