Food Related Gifts
(That you can make or put together yourself)
I've given this a little thought today and I am going to list here ten homemade gifts you can give that are food related, because, what is more important than food? It doesn't actually have to be edible (there being some concern about giving people fattening foods they don't want to feel obligated to eat) but I think there are a whole lot of choices that range from easy to challenging, and from inexpensive to more costly.
What I want is for everyone who reads this post to tell me which three projects they would most like to see become tutorials? Whichever three gift ideas get the most votes I will source the supplies, make the projects, and write instructions. Then I will draw three names from the people who voted in this post and I will send each one of them a package with one of the gifts I made from the tutorials. Got it?
1. Bread baking gift basket.
2. Dinner napkin sets from your fabric stash.
3. Dish towels with mushroom appliques.
4. How to put together a gift basket with your own preserves.
5. Homemade coffee liqueur.
6. Custom tea blends in tins or jars.
7. Round pot holders.
8. Pancake mix gift basket.
9. Farmer's market tote.
10. Custom spice blends and spice rubs.
Voting must be swift so that I have time to source and prepare these tutorials. You have until Friday the 30th. That's this Friday in case you're so dazed right now that you didn't know that. Obviously you will need to include a way for me to contact you.
I'm not going to tell you which ones I'm hoping will win the vote. If you tell me it's snowing where you are right now you will be automatically disqualified for the drawing because that's just mean*.
*I'm kidding. I won't hold it against you. I actually just saw the first warning for a chance of snow on my local weather update for next week.
