We are right in the middle of gift-giving season, and the stress of the holidays may be starting to wear you down. Baking gifts is a great way to get back in the holiday spirit and cross a few people off of your “still need to buy for” list at the same time! There are so many options for Bake-A-Gift, and you can add your own creativity in the packaging, decorating, and presentation of your homemade treats!
Some of the best gifts to give are homemade, and everyone loves a reason to indulge! You don’t have to limit yourself to cookies; jarred brownie, hot chocolate, or party mix are also nice gifts to give. You can also bake fruitcakes, cheesecakes, or create a mixture of your favorite desserts!
