What’s a cute homemade gift I can make for my 17 yr old friend?
We did secret santa and i got my best friend. our limit is $50 and i already went over, i got a personalized picture frame and a vera bradley bag. i want to make something cute for her i was thinking a recipe in a jar or something? those are cute.
a lot of people have asked this and peopel usually say bake something but im baking all of my friends christmas cookies so dont suggest recipes please or picture frames cause i already got her one!
anything that i can make myself that she will like! thanks!
You sound like a good friend, very thoughtful!
You can make her a CD with some of her favorite songs. There may be some that she doesn’t already have and there may be some that have those make you laugh memories. I know when I was 17 my friends and I had a bunch of songs that would make us laugh because it reminded us of a fun time we had.
Have A Very Merry Christmas!

I am baking a variety of different cookies to put in tins for the holidays for family members, friends, and coworkers. I would like to label the cookies in some way, I don’t think that I need to list all the ingredients i used, since i have already check for these peoples allergies. But I would like to label them somehow. Like when you get a box of chocolates and under them is what flavor they are, something like that but maybe little tabs or something…ideas please!
Get some plain card, normally from a stationery shop, and use your computer to print out what you want on the card.
Punch a hole at the top of the card and tie to the tin using some fancy ribbon.

i requested this in the food section and voila…its here instead..sorry!
You’ll be ok this one time. I would do it. There may not be any lead in them, you’re assuming. Even so, this one time you’ll be alright. I wouldn’t scrub them too hard in case there is lead.

I am looking for Christmas baking ideas to do with kids.
We have shortbread, and thumbprint cookies, rice krispie…objects LOL, chocolate covered things…
I need fun stuff the kids can do alone (hence krispie objects) obviously with me right there, but they like to do the work.
I asked this in parenting because some of the recipes in Food are a little mature for little kids, and I want mommy/daddy opinions on tried and true recipes.
Thanks
They could use green food dye, and make shortbread Christmas trees, cinnamon applesauce ornaments (there’s a link to the recipe in the source), gingerbread men, and if they’re old enough, you can try making cookies with a little hole in the middle, and putting a hard candy inside, which melts and looks really pretty.
