Making homemade Christmas Gifts

[S Freud]

My girlfriend and I are staying on a budget this year and agreeing to make each other at least one Christmas gift.

I am arranging her a basket full of coffee stuff, things like coffee scented candles and some flavored syrups. Along with some different flavored coffees and a coffee grinder so she can get some fresh ground coffee. I think I will throw in some chocolate bars and a gift card to her favorite coffee place.

I am also making her a photo album of her and I, places that we have been and things that we have done together, we were in a rough patch their for a while and recently solved a lot of our problems so I think this one will mean a lot to her.

Anyone else doing this?🙂

I probably will, for some family members.

I dunno, some kind of food. Truffle sauce, candies (like chocolate dipped hazelnuts or truffles), cookies, bread, something like that. It'll be for my and my spouse's siblings and friends. We don't exchange store-bought gifts anymore with adults other than each other and our parents.

Heh, I once made a coffee/caffeine pack as a birthday present, too. 🙂 I recently made a memory game with open source software mascotts for a secret santa in another forum.

In the past we made wooden clocks for the kitchen with jigsaws and painted them afterwards, that was fun back then 😀

My family also gives away self-made foods at christmas: cookies, pralines or pasta.
