Foody Christmas pressies???

[gruntygiggles]

Right, as a bit of a money saving thing this year, to bump up the normal pressies, I was thinking of buying and sterilising a load of jars and making up gifts of rosemary salt, lemon & Thyme salt, BBQ seasonings, Flavoured oils, Preserved Lemons etc.

I would put them in the jars, make up some brown paper labels and prettyfy them country style .

If you got something like this as well as a normal pressie, would you be happy with it or think it was a cop out and prefer more bought pressies???

I was given some green tomato chutney by a mate last year, that he had made himself. I thought it was a bit ghey, but appreciated the thought and effort that went into it.

Always something home-made shows you put some effort into it.

BBQ sauces for xmas?
Yes please? I love food

i think its a great idea i got some home made chocolate cakes for my birthday and they were yummy go for it

Cool...I was thinking of things for each person that I know are hard to buy, like preserved lemons for Dans sister as she likes using the tagine my mum bought her last year. She loves things like that and they, the flavoured salts, flavoured oils etc will last for 12 months +.

providing its relevant enough they can use it go for it.

I think that personalised gifts are a lot nicer. I'd love some preserved lemons

I think foody stuff is great. I made truffles for my sisters last year...they seem to like them and didnt dies of food poisoning Bargin
