Re: easy, cute, (rather inexpensive) gift crafts... without sewing?
My neighbor always gives us a jar of something for Christmas ...
last year it was homemade spice rub for chicken, meat, etc.
the year before, it was spicy pecans
the year before, it was Rolos barely melted into (pressed into) mini pretzels
The timing is perfect because then I have something special for when people come over. That said, we all love that my aunt gives us fudge every year.
A friend made us limoncello last year. It was wonderful to pour over vanilla icecream or cake or to just drink with espresso after dinner on New Years.
When it comes to children, my favorite gift to receive is a bookmark -- with or without photos, but with the name somewhere on it. My Bible is full of these treasures, and I pray for each child every time I open the Book and see their bookmark.
I also think a tiny book is a great gift -- illustrated by the children, maybe -- of favorite recipes, Bible verses, or even a story that the family wrote.
peace,
tessiemae
