During this time of year I really have to control my spending. In order to do that I started making gifts. Over the summer I make grape jelly and sweet pickles. These will go into gift baskets or gift bags. Goodwill and thrift stores are excellent places to pick up baskets, cookie cutters, napkin rings, glassware or other little trinkets for practically nothing. I personally like to find old ice cream dishes. They make great gifts that are filled with candy. Doilies can be soaked in a cornstarch mixture and placed over a bowl to dry. When dry they make nice containers for fudge wrapped in cellophane. Cloth napkins can be used to wrap homemade candy and are held in place with a napkin ring. Please feel free to post your ideas! That way we all can learn something.
