Little Gift List


Your coworkers, boss, kid’s teachers, distant relatives. Not getting them something for the holidays is out of the question, but what do you get them? Never fear. We’ve compiled a list of some easy-to-make food gift recipes so you can jar up some holiday spirit and check off those little gift list members.

Brownies. Easy and delicious. Crumble up a few dozen candy canes and drizzle the pieces on top of the pan of brownies about 10 minutes before they’re done baking. It will infuse some of the peppermint flavor and look totally festive when they’re done.

Grab some cute little cardboard boxes, stuff the bottom with festive tissue paper or burlap, toss some cinnamon sticks in for scent, and bake some cinnamon biscuits. It’s an easy breakfast for an on-the-go mom or busy worker. Add a little jar of hot chocolate mix in there and they’ll be hugging you before 9:00 a.m.

Make your own hot cocoa this season and can up the mix in little mason jars. Use festive fabric and layer it over the seal before screwing the lid on and you have a cute little hot chocolate to-go gift that anyone can enjoy.

Speaking of canning things, marmalade is easy to make and lasts for many months, making it a great little gift idea. Here’s a recipe for a tangy citrus blend that is delicious on toast, croissants, and scones.

Fudge? How could we not add fudge to the list. This recipe uses only five ingredients and is very easy to make. Toss half a dozen bars in a holiday cellophane bag and we have no doubt friends and family will be asking for more next year.

Chocolate dipped anything. Pretzels, peanuts, popcorn. Grab a couple bags of melting chocolate and a few of your favorite snacks and go to town. Divvy up by type or mix it all together for a chocolaty trail mix perfect for snacking.
