Happy Holidays! My Gift Basket Ideas

I have been making my gift baskets this year and have been much too busy to post. I hope to list and link everything after the new year to give some ideas for next year.  I feel pretty safe listing because no-one in my extended family ever reads this! I also made these adorable little recipe books but I'm hung up on which to include so those may not get out.

I wanted to say a word about those computer printing programs for making cards, labels, etc. I personally use Printshop. They may seem expensive to buy but they are essential if you are making gifts from scratch. Labels for your jars, gift tags, cards, and all kinds of other neat things are incredible easy. If you factor how much you get from these programs in, it's worth it.

I use the local Dollar store for 90% of my packaging. They have tons of great packaging and decorations for little money.

I hope everyone is healthy and happy and will have much fun in the new year!
