I always give home-made Christams gifts, like home-made limoncello or vanilla extract.
I love those chocolate filled whiskey treats! Yummm! That cake with the yummy snowman that doesn’t melt too & those many yummy cookies! Delightful! xxxx

All of them are beautiful and anyone would be extremely pleased to receive any one of them as a gift! I think I am going to try to make a version of your fruit mince pies this year. They’ll make a great gift!

Lovely suggestions, Charlie, with each one seemingly prettier than the one before it. You inspire! My mother always, always, made trays of special goodies at Christmas–and fruit cakes as well. Nice memories for me.

I just love this round up Charlie, your Christmas goodies are not only beautiful but must be well appreciated too. My dear Mom used to make traditional Hungarian Beigli (both walnut and poppyseed) and a fruitcake (not Hungarian) every year. I haven’t made either for at least 20 years but you’ve inspired me to do a Hungarian Christmas this year! Moms fruitcake was not overly fruity and had lots of coconut in it; it was so good toasted with butter on it!

Wonderful treats here!!! Thanks for sharing them with us….shortbread and fruit mince pies/tarts are on my list always at Christmas. Last year I started a new tradition of gifting rosemary salt and a few appreciation letters for loved ones (mainly my husband and one of my nan’s) 🙂 Jan x

You’ve really shared a gift with me to post these heartfelt, homemade Christmas gifts, Charlie. I would love to make several of these for my friends and family. Each and every year I think I will get a bit of a head start on the season and begin baking earlier. I think we place so much emphasis on all the cooking and baking that goes with Thanksgiving and then I need a recovery period! Just seeing the photos of these delicious treats has inspired me to get started! 🙂

What a lot of yummy looking treats. I feel like I’m already behind with regard to Christmas and it’s not even quite December yet. Sigh.
