Christmas Gifts I can do now??

Justnooch · October 2013

I usually do some small homemade gift for extended family at Christmas time. I'm trying to find something I can make in advance so they're all set. I looked up some caramel sauce and apple butter recipes but they say those only last a few weeks. I'm a late nov mom so a few weeks before Christmas, I'll have a newborn. Any ideas???

I made jelly over the summer! It's all ready to go.

I make homemade kahlua every year. It's actually very easy and everyone loves it! You can also attach a recipe for White Russians.

I made this last year (or the year before) with homemade vanilla extract. Both were received very well.

vanilla:

(You probably don't have enough time to really do that vanilla fully, but you could separate it in bottles and put the vanilla beans in it to soak longer and that might work.)

I also made a lemon coconut body scrub but can't find the recipe for that now, but I really liked that one. I think it was just sugar, coconut oil and lemon zest.

These are great! Thanks!! Never thought of vanilla...will have to put on my calendar for next year if it's too late.

Not sure if you're only looking for food stuff. I'm going to make some of these

My mama makes Apple Cinnamon Jam instead of Apple Butter. Otherwise, I second the cookies/bar/whatever in a jar. I usually dole out Christmas cookies, but the in-a-jar things are just as good IMO
