I was talking to a coworker the other day who told me that she makes gift baskets for holidays and other occasions. She wasn’t telling me in order to sell them to me, she was telling me what a fun project it is and although not necessarily cheap, they can be personalized to suit the needs and taste of the recipient.

When my sister was in college, she made cookies to ship to family and friends as holiday gifts. She got pretty tins and packaged them nicely. It was a lot of work but they were great.

Have you ever made gifts for the holidays or other occasions? What did you make and how was it?
