Great Book: Christmas Gifts of Good Taste

Subject: Great Book: Christmas Gifts of Good Taste Sun 20 Jan 2008, 3:23 pm

I have two books from the library entitled: Christmas Gifts of Good Taste.

I looked through them this weekend, and there are dozens of ideas I received for Christmas gift ideas as well as gifts for throughout the year.
There are recipes for salsas, cookies, dips, liquors for coffe, cocoa mixes, breads, cakes, cupcakes, roasted nuts, etc.

I only have two of the books from the library. According to Amazon, there are several.
I will have to look at our library to see if they have any other ones. The two books I have checked out are equally as helpful, with great recipe ideas.

I highly recommend them.

I was just telling Todd about one of the ideas.
They are clear Christmas bulbs. You make this apple cider mix (instructions are in the book), and fill the clear christmas ornaments with it, tie a ribbon on the top where the stopper is with a printout of directions to make the hot apple cider.

Very clever, if you ask me. Easy and decorative. I love that idea.
I think it'd be a great supplement to a frugal gift.
And that is just one of many.

I have about 6 of them here at home, and every one I get I find more ideas that I like. :-)

I'm glad everyone else is finding them useful as well.

I have been waiting for some time to type out the instructions, but I should just copy them on my scanner. It would be alot easier and save me alot of time.
