The Rest of our Handmade Christmas Gifts

As I mentioned last week, Trevor and I made many of our Christmas gifts this year.  About a month ago, we set out large, empty baskets for each person on our gift list.  As we made each craft, we distributed the items into the baskets.

The rootbeer fans on our list got Rootbeer Reindeer.


The nut lovers got bags of the pistachios that we roasted.


Everyone got some colorful (or money-filled) soap....


... and ornaments made from cinnamon sticks.

 

Everyone got either a dark chocolate peppermint popcorn...

... or the white chocolate version.  


And finally, some homemade Butter Mints.



I'll share the recipe in a future post if anyone is interested.  Let me know!
