Christmas Gift Ideas

Gift 1 : Vanilla Extract

Homemade Vanilla Extract Recipe 

This is very simple to make and all you need are vodka and vanilla beans. Make them in slim tall bottles, add a label 'Homemade Vanilla Extract by - your name- " and tie a ribbon or string around the top of the bottle. 


Gift 2 : Pomegranate Jelly

Pomegranate Jelly Recipe 

Pomegranate has antioxidant properties and is full of vitamins. Not only that, it is deliciously refreshing to eat. Pomegranate jelly can be used in place of cranberry jelly on turkey. So give a gift of good health-giving pomegranate jelly this Christmas.

Gift 3 : Vanilla Biscotti

Basic Biscotti Recipe 

To me, Biscotti looks just so ordinary and well, ain't they used in salads? But then, this is a basic recipe and so you can easily change by coating them with caramel or adding other ingredients like chocolate chips, cranberries or other dried fruits to make it your very own biscotti gift.

Gift 4 : Snowman Soup

Snowman Soup 

Make some snowman soup, create labels or tags to go with them and give them away as Christmas gifts. They make good warm gifts for a cold wintry Christmas.

Check it out! I have added words for you to put on your labels or tags too so you can copy and paste them onto a Word document and print them out and decorate with Snowman and snowflakes. Have fun!
