Although electronics and clothes and shoes are great gifts in general, sometimes it’s a good idea (and a fun one) to take a DIY approach to gift-giving. Your recipient will feel treasured and, if you find solace in the kitchen, you’ll also be rewarded while crafting your edible gifts for the ones you love.
All of these fun ideas below can either be tied up with ribbon in a treat bag or sealed in a pretty mason jar. And remember, food is universal, so your friends and family won’t have to make exchanges, ask for a gift receipt, or try things on for size. That’s something everyone can appreciate!
