Quick
Kitchen Gift Ideas
Gather up treasured family
recipes and copy them into a colorful purchased journal. Or, print
them on pretty recipe cards fitted into a categorized recipe
box.
Purchase candycanes or any
interesting-flavored candy sticks. Dip them in melted semisweet
chocolate and let harden. Wrap in cellophane with bows to be used as
coffee or tea stirrers. These are nice tucked into a pretty coffee
mug.
Purchase
several small herb plants and nestle them together in a pretty
basket with a favorite recipe card for using each herb.
A bottle of
wine with an IOU for a home-cooked meal makes a terrific gift for
that person constantly on the go.
For a nice
hostess gift, purchase a small Styrofoam cone. Using toothpicks to
attach, cover with fresh cranberries. Use whole clove studs
interspersed and leftover pine clippings or fresh herbs as a
decorative base.
