Hmm, good question. I have a large household, so the only way to
cover everybody is to do gifts from home. Last year we cleaned out my
parent's house, and I raided my mother's basket collection. Everybody
got their presents in baskets last year, and for many of them, the basket
itself was the best part!
But, I have made mustard, Grilling Marinade, flavored vinegars,
flavored oils, spice mixtures, herbal eyewash packs, Bug Bite Lotion (#1
requested "Please make this again for Christmas!"), soap, and various
other gifts of time and love. What to do this year? I have seen gift
baskets with an entire dinner for 2 enclosed, for example, like pasta,
sauce, clams, wine, olives, cheese, crackers. Perhaps 'dinner' baskets
with a period flavor? Maybe include some period spices (saffron, cubebs,
grains of paradise) a recipie, some mead, candied flower petals, etc.
What do you think? What would make a good basket for 2? How
about a family with kids? Hmm, this bears thinking on!
