You could do a...Ooh, just thought of another idea. You could do all sorts of beautiful photo project/presents with Matthew's farm pictures. A three picture frame, or a photo book, or a photo poster with a poem or a quote or a verse. You could pick up cheap frames from Goodwill and repurpose them, or make a calendar or something. Those pictures are just begging to be turned into art.

Like Susan, I always think the mixes are cute but never end up using them.<br /><br />Last year I did a trio of spice mixes for meat in little plastic containers for people and they were a big hit. I also did some yummy almonds.<br /><br />Thinking about things I like to receive: anything with a personal touch, Christmas decorations, no matter how simple, pictures...there are lots of cute simple ideas on Pinterest, too. Ooh, one of my favorite homemade gifts from you was the bread!! I don't make bread like that and it was so tasty!Trinkethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437262396194914845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37669247.post-13656101334364652013-10-08T11:22:38.469-05:002013-10-08T11:22:38.469-05:00I love hot pads and food.

The mixes in jars are cute and thoughtful, but I never end up using them and then it just sits in the cupboard, making me feel anxious. <br /><br />I always appreciate a theme, or something personal. For example, bread with a funny limerick about that person. Or a hot pad, made out of something unique to them. <br /><br />For people you don't know very well, or gift exchanges, I find an old Christmas movie on DVD and a bag of microwave popcorn is always a big hit. It's cute, clever and ultimately regiftable if they already have it/don't like it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070254692070287013noreply@blogger.com
