Thanks
Some of these may have been posted but here are some things I have done.
Embroidered tea towels
Pot holders
Mixes in a jar with the recipe
Home baked Sourdough bread (from scratch)
Home made assortment of cookies
Home made Cheese Ball
Homemade Hot pepper jelly with a block of cream cheese
Homemade Port wine jelly
Homemade cakes, tea breads and pies (depending on the recipient)
Dried herbs from my garden, tied with ribbon, placed in a plastic snack bag with a label
Whenever I give a food gift, I always copy the recipe and include it along with the food so that the recipient can see the ingredients in case of allergies.
When I give Sourdough I always offer a starter and the help they may need to get started on making their own.
Quilts
Quilted table runners
There are more but these are the best received.
