Plus, the pretty packaging and gift-wrapping ideas ahead will impress your craftiest friends.
Ree Drummond, for one, is a huge fan of edible food gifts. She's known for delivering batches of her famous cinnamon rolls every year to friends and family. "Growing up, my mom always made these for her good friends at Christmastime," she says. "I've carried on the tradition through the years and have won friends and influenced people just by delivering these rolls." In addition to these amazing rolls, read on for tasty Christmas cookies, fruit cake, and other holiday desserts to give away this year.
Looking for the perfect gift for the foodie in your life? Try one of the many DIY jar mixes, like peppermint hot cocoa or pancake mix in a jar. Or, you can wrap up a pumpkin spice syrup that makes the perfect gift for coffee lovers. And if you still need more ideas for gifting, try presenting one of these homemade Christmas food gifts with a matching kitchen gift or gadget—a homemade spice blend and your favorite cast iron skillet would be nice!
