Edible Homemade Christmas Gifts

Christmas Pudding Biscuit

The act of giving seems to be gradually slipping away year after year as presents become more expensive and less and less personal. Many presents aren't treasured for very long but memories are. I like to give friends and family presents which I have made myself as it does seem more personal. Yes, it takes effort and forethought but the pay off is so much worth while. Christmas is only a month away. You can make some of the presents now which will save you time and help spread the cost of Christmas. I will be doing one homemade gift a day Here is a selection of christmas gifts that I make. They make great presents seperately or collectively as a hamper. I will be adding one Christmas gift idea a day at 3pm London time.
