Homemade Edible Christmas Gift Ideas

*Originally published Dec 2017*

Hi friends!

Let’s talk about homemade edible Christmas gift ideas! If there’s anything I love more than getting presents, it’s giving presents! Something about it just makes me so happy. The past few years I’ve really gotten into homemade gifts, specifically edible ones. Since I always seem to be in my kitchen anyways, I might as well kill two birds with one stone, right? A couple years ago I revamped a bunch of my old recipes to show you just how perfect they are for edible gifts! 

Tons of these recipes are from my very early blogging years so if you haven’t been reading since 2010/2011 so you might not even KNOW about all this deliciousness.

Hopefully, this roundup will inspire you if you’re looking for some easy homemade gifts this year for friends, coworkers, teachers, neighbors, etc! Most of these recipes could easily be doubled or tripled. And then you can package them up in cute bags or boxes and spread a little edible cheer!

    I haven’t given many baked goods as presents, but I did do a baking mix one year and that was a big hit. I did like the look of the different items layered in the mason jar.
    I think the spicy popcorn might be a nice gift, sometimes you get faced with so many sweets, it’s nice to change things up.
