The Case For Homemade Food Gifts

Giving food as a gift is a budget shopper’s dream. Personally, I think homemade gifts mean more than something bought at the store.

The key to making a homemade gift unforgettable is putting some thought into the packaging and labeling. I stock up on gift boxes, bags, and labels throughout the year when I find them on sale. I keep all of these items in a “gift drawer” so they’re ready to go when I need them.

Absolutely foolproof.

Package this tasty mint bark in a pretty box and you’ve got yourself a perfectly acceptable Christmas gift for less than $5.00. Easy as pie.
