So I've been running into some difficulties with
Homemade Christmas 2016. I should place most of the blame where it's due -- on my own head, for failing to stagger the process throughout the year as I'd planned -- but it's also been difficult because with a few notable exceptions (thank you, Notable Exceptions!), I received very few responses to the "what would you like for Homemade Christmas?" emails I sent out a couple of times this year. Now we're down to the wire and I'm trying to come up with quick-to-make gifts that would be well received.
Some items I'm making, or considering making, include:
- homemade caramels
- apple molasses
- fruit leather
- earrings
- melt-and-pour soap
- foaming hand soap
- steak rub for Manly Men Who Grill In Manly Fashion
- spice mixes for Mighty Cooks Who Make Nommy Good Food
- potholders (Mom's suggestion -- not sure how well they'd be received, tho)
- big ol' batch of Aunt Anna's almond cookies
- placeholders for homemade socks or mittens, to be delivered later (yeah, I know, I suck. I didn't get people's measurements right away and I'm not a fast knitter)
Any other ideas? I could use some!
