Homemade gifts are a wonderful, thoughtful gift to give to family or friends at Christmas time. They are exclusively made for the person receiving the gift(s) and add that little extra treat of luxury you maybe unable to find in shop brought gifts.
Happy Cook @ My Kitchen Treasures is hosting an event for Homemade Christmas Gifts. She is posting a round-up here and you’ll be able to view all the homemade gifts that other bloggers have been busy making. You may find a gem of a homemade gift you may want to reproduce from some of the lovely homemade gifts already submitted!
