I requested that family members not purchase us gifts and that we would be making them a small and edible token of love this year :) I'm excited to get cooking!Accounting SPOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410758234017777078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257706386727595423.post-34014270136885227702008-11-12T12:13:00.000-05:002008-11-12T12:13:00.000-05:00Wow Kaprice, I've been the exact same way for the ...Wow Kaprice, I've been the exact same way for the past 5 years. This year I don't have much of a choice. Your idea is great! As for baskets, I don't know how close you are to a Goodwill but I get baskets there all the time for a $1.00 a piece or less. That would be way cheaper than the website although for brand new baskets the $70 doesn't sound too bad. Love your ideas of what to include in the basket, my mouth was watering while read it.

Our family grew so large = moms, dads, siblings (and their children) that we just couldn't give gifts to everyone after several years.<BR/><BR/>This year, we are going to make a donation to one or two charities in the names of our family members.<BR/><BR/>Of course, we let the families know ahead of time. We also asked not to receive gifts, but rather to have family members save the money, or make a donation themselves in our name:-)Mary Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594242579741198029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257706386727595423.post-61377745549326637572008-11-12T08:55:00.000-05:002008-11-12T08:55:00.000-05:00I thought that I was feeling stressed with my Chri...I thought that I was feeling stressed with my Christmas list, but you have quite a list! The baskets sound like a good deal! I like your idea about what to put in them, too. Every year we struggle with what to buy for my MIL, and that sounds like something she might actually enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257706386727595423.post-62993838283368404422008-11-11T17:49:00.000-05:002008-11-11T17:49:00.000-05:00I love your idea for the gift baskets.

I give them all the time because my husband has 4 other siblings and their extended families we have to buy for as well.<BR/><BR/>Any way one thing that I have given that you might like to try is cocoa in a jar. It is so easy. The recipe is on the back of the Hershey baking cocoa box, which is one ingredient you need anyway, you can find it in the grocery store in the baking section. Just then make a cute tag copying the easy instructions on the box. I added mini marshmallows and bits of broken up peppermint candy canes. The kids even helped me put it together. <BR/><BR/>Good luck and let us know how your baskets turn out!Aimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294427791902085993noreply@blogger.com
