GIFTS FROM THE HEART |

A pretty assortment of homemade cookies can be packaged in an inexpensive airtight tin, available at most large stores such as Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc., as well as specialty and craft stores.
To make the presentation special, put a paper lace doily in the bottom of the tin. To add even more pizzazz, add paper muffin or mini-muffin cups, depending on size of cookies, and fill each cup with a different variety of cookie. Try to use at least three or four different kinds of cookies. Cover the tin and tie with a pretty ribbon, add a gift tag, and you have a gift anyone would love to receive! |

Pretty little glass jars or small tins of spiced tea, or Friendship Tea, also make lovely and appreciated gifts. The recipe is in our Christmas Tea pages, and small decorative glass jars can be bought in the stores listed above. Just fill the jar or tin, seal the lid on with Scotch tape to avoid spills, add a band of bright ribbon and bow, and a tag with instructions. Great gift for friends, teachers, Scout leaders, co-workers, anyone! |
