A simple craft of making Magnetic Marbles to give to family and friends that the kids can help you create.
Make Hand Lotion to give to teachers and friends.
Applesauce Cinnamon Ornaments are one of our favorite gifts to give. They smell so good and are simple enough for the kiddos to do.
Chocolate Pretzel Bites – Easy enough for preschoolers to make. Delicious enough for anyone to love receiving.
Christmas Peanut Butter Balls
– There are a few recipes that make my holiday time complete. Pecan
pie is my Thanksgiving have-to-eat. Christmas Balls are one of my
Christmas musts. I always make a batch of these to include in our gift baskets for neighbors, teachers, and friends as well as some extras for us to eat.
The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe – I love sugar cookies. But, in my opinion it is hard to find a good sugar cookie. What I am about to share with you is the best sugar cookie recipe ever, in my opinion. And instead of being stingy and not sharing it with you, I am going to pass on this amazing cookie recipe so that you can eat them too!
Puppy Chow (aka Muddy Buddies) is a requested items from our
neighbors. It is very easy to make and a hit with all. Bubs made it
for his 4-H club last fall and was able to do a lot of it himself. Even
the youngest kiddos can help with this recipe.
So pick an idea, grab the family, and package “love” for those around you!
