I will tell you, I had fun making gifts for everyone for Christmas last year and I am planning on doing it again this year. I already have big plans on what to make for certain people on our list, and I am looking forward to getting started.
A friend of mine and I agreed last year to make homemade gifts for each other, and she gave me a huge bag full of homemade goodies. Let me tell you, the gift was awesome! I also enjoyed giving away apple pie in a jar, jams, applesauce, wine, margaritas, beer and the like.

I love that you're getting geared up early! I always have big plans, but rarely get them done. This year, I'd like to make my mother a Christmas quilt (maybe sneak one in for me), strawberry jelly, apple butter, and who knows what else--maybe Kombucha mothers (if I can get mine to work right), water kefir grains, something sewn. I guess I need to start planning!
