My favorite holiday gift idea can be adapted to any interest and fit into any budget - the gift basket. For cookers and bakers, this sort of gift is a natural. Here's how I do it:
1. Purchase inexpensive baskets at the Dollar Store or with discount coupons at craft stores.
2. Collect specialty items like organic herbs and spices, flavored vinegars and oils, holiday bread or cookie mixes, baking utensils-you name it.
3. Add some handmade recipe cards with your holiday favorites
4. Line the basket with colored tissue paper or clear, colored plastic wrap
5. Put you items inside the wrapping and tie up with a ribbon.
You can also adapt this for coffee or tea lovers, for instance, or make a gift basket for anyone on your list around their special interest.
