I love to give these WONDERFUL cookies that we make at Christmas time called Pecan Sandies. They are pecan goodness rolled in powdered sugar. They are NOTHING like the “Pecan Sandies” that you buy in the stores…They are SO SO SO much better. A recepie that my mom has had as long as I can remember & we’ve been using since I was a little little kid. They are a family tradition at Christmas time & make a wonderful gift.
I make Passover Toffee Bars to give at Passover. My nephews LOVE them! A friend I used to work with gave me this delicious recipe. You use matzah crackers, butter,brown sugar,chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. I could eat it all year but it is a special treat for Passover!
It’s yummy and makes a great gift!!!
I like to make Almond bread at Christmas. It is a light biscuit that is sliced thinly and cooked a second time. It is studded with almonds and glace cherries and pineapple. You can buy plain almond bread (no cherries etc) but it is very expensive and not half as nice! They look very festive in a cellophane bad with curling ribbon and people really appreciate them as a gift.
I love making a variety of cookies at Christmas to give away in handcrafted packaging to friends and family.
I love giving away milk chocolate, especially to my friends abroad (because I think the Norwegian milk chocolate is really good). I usually wrap it up in some pretty paper and embellish it =)
I make different kinds of Christmas cookies and decorate the packaging.
Cookies, I love experimenting with new recipes
I love baking. Every Christmas I give either a treat bag or box filled with cookies, squares and homemade chocolates to everyone we know.
My favorite food is seafood, in particular lobster. ANd my favorite treat has to be chocolate of any kind. Thanks for a chance to win.
My favorite treat to make and give is Pumpkin Cookies! Everyone loves them! I’m always asked to make them throughout the year, but I will only make on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Xmas!
I love to decorate up tins, and put in homemade cookies in there, especially at Christmas time, but also as Thank you gifts!
I usually give yummy Swiss chocolate!
I like to give out a box of chocolates. I like to decorate the box real pretty.

I love to give cookies and cupcakes
Every year I make 12 different cookies (around 90 dozen) to give as gifts to friends and family. I try to include a couple new ones each year, which is getting difficult at year 16. Some favorites from the past include, Snickerdoodles, Orange Spice, Ginger Snaps, Triple Chocolate Chunk, Coconut Macaroons, Chocolate Crinkles and (of course) Chocolate Chip.
HUGE chocolate chip cookies are my treat giveaway! Everyone loves them!!
Holidays and birthdays…I love to make little treat bags with personalized tags…makes whatever is inside taste so much better! The package is most important!! Lately I’ve been using jars, containers, vases…not just the bags. Oh so cute!!
Cupcakes, cupcakes, CUPCAKES!!!
My favorite foods to give away are cookies, with personalized tags-die cut, embossed, flashy papers, embellished, etc. (I think they like seeing what kind of different ideas I can come up with better than the treats!) My personal best was cookies in a large soup can with the top cut off with a safety edge can opener. Then I put the cookies in and glued the top (with no sharp edges) back on. (I use the pull tab type cans for this). It’s just like it has been resealed somehow by me. Then I cut a sheet of decorative paper to the size of the can, adherred it, and decorated it with all kinds of neat stuff. (stamped, die cut, embossed, embellished). Everyone loved it! Also did this for co-workers with Nuts inside, and put “to the Nuts I Work With” on the label-Big Hit!
I like to give cookies or even a pie now & then. With all the Spring holidays coming I better get busy!
My fave thing to give away are Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls because they are so yummy, but make so many pans of rolls.
We used to make chocolate covered pretzels for teacher gifts, and my mom has a great recipe for flavored pecans that are always a big hit. But my favorite is the one-dish fudge recipe that always turns out so good!
I like to give pumpkin rolls to friends, family, and teachers. They are really good, everyone thinks its so difficult to make, and they really appreciate it. (they aren’t hard at all, shhhh!)

i like to bake lots of cookies during the holidays and give them as gifts to friends and neighbors.
Bags of homemade caramel corn…and at Christmas, it’s always fudge using my mom’s old fashioned recipe!
I gave away tinted popcorn and homemade popcorn flavorings at Christmas and they were huge hits!
I love to give cookies and sweet treats away for the holidays!
I love giving home made jam for gifts that I glam up with labels and lids done wirh paper
I love to give cookies to friends, especially at Christmas time, but almost any time of the year.
I love making cupcakes and giving them to people. Decorating them is the best part.
My mom, sister and I get together once a year to make a massive batch of homemade chocolates for Christmas gifts, it takes us about two days and by the time we are done every surface in the kitchen, dining room and living room is covered in chocolates of all sorts of fillings and flavours. It is a great way to spend some quality time together and everyone we know gets a little giftbox of homemade yumminess!
Every Christmas I make about 3 dozen loaves of English Muffin Bread and make homemade tags with toasting directions.
I love to give chocolates — the best I can afford so that its a real treat for the recipient.
My favorite one to give is the little candies made from pretzels, rolos and mm’s. They seem to be loved by anyone I give them too!
I bring cookies in for my students during the 5-7 hour mega labs–favorite seems to be the frosted sugar cookies. No die cuts or decorations for these–just a big sign in the hall that they are for students of that class only. Always make a lot of extra as the sign doesn’t usually stop people…..
Just recently I had made a cupcake flower bouquet for my one friend for her birthday. She loved it! Her favorite flavor of cupcakes and my homemade icing in 6 plastic flower molds on a plastic stem in a glass vase with a bow and glass gems. I love to give unique gifts. At Christmastime, I love to bake an assortment of cookies and give them to friends and relative.
I make Oreo truffles at Christmas time, for family, friends and co-workers. They taste so amazing, people literally beg for them throughout the year.
I love to give away Toffee! I started out at Xmas time then people started asking for it all during the year so now I will add it as part of their gift! Thanks for sharing for a wonderful giveaway, I love, love, love that paper, very inspiring!

I love making spinach dip and putting in a nice bowl wrapped nicely. Everyone seems to enjoy it and requests it.
I make cupcakes but stick ice cones into the cups before I cook them. Then when they are done, I have ice cream cupcakes.
I make Portuguese Sweet Bread in my bread maker and wrap it in “Holiday” (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc) cello wrap. It’s always a great hostess gift when we are invited to dinner too
I love making chocolate n blueberry muffins and give it to the kids, who come and play in the garden all the time starting Spring.
I don’t make a lot of card due to lack of inspiration. This would fix that!
Brownies! (and I love to get them, too!)
And sets of cards. 4 – 6 coordinating, made with the same paper line, each slightly different, and with various sentiments. I make 12-15 sets throughout the year and my Christmas list is done!
