With Thanksgiving and the December holidays right around the corner,

it’s time to start thinking gifts!

Some of the most treasured packages are things made from the heart, that extra meaningful gesture of giving something you have made

Here are some suggestions for hostess gifts, friendship gifts, and something for someone who has everything

Homemade scones are a lovely breakfast treat to bring to your host or hostess, whether you are staying overnight, or just for dinner or a party, this is something they can enjoy in the morning or freeze for later

Vanilla Scones with Cranberries, Apricots & Pecans

Bacon Salt is perfect for any guy!

Everything Seasoning is a welcome addition to any kitchen, make up a big batch, put it in jars,

A sprinkle on buttered toast makes instant garlic bread

Include some recipes printed out on card stock or recipe cards, like

Everything Puff Pastry Sticks {aka Wacky Weeds}

or make a batch of

Everything Cocktail Cookies and include the recipe

If you don’t feel like cooking, fashion a theme gift basket like this Gingerbread Man basket, this type of gift is great for a family

Stores like Target, HomeGoods, World Market, Pier 1, even Walmart or the grocery store, are great places to find a cute container and fill it up with goodies, maybe a decoration or two, a picture frame, cooking utensils, a holiday mug or plate, a baked good from the deli
