Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas

This simple Coffee Scented Hot Fudge Sauce is one of the recipes you can find in Homemade Food Gifts For the Holidays at parents.com

I know we might be running out of time for homemade gifts since Christmas is next week, but here are some ideas and links that I found in case any of you could use them yet this year (if not, maybe next?). Some are completely homemade, some are not.

The next three ideas are from Better Homes and Gardens Super Quick Gifts to Make.

Hobby Gift Tote - fill a cute container with items for the recipients favorite hobby.

Cloche Gift - Choose a theme and fill a cloche full of items relating to the theme.

How about this simple coaster idea from Zakka Life? If you wanted a larger gift, include the coasters with speciality coffee, cocoa mix (homemade recipe here) or chai tea mix and a cute mug. Depending on the beverage you choose to include, you could add some chocolate spoons or how about some homemade peppermint marshmallows?
