    One of our most dedicated forum hosts, Molly53, has put together an extensive guide on how to create homemade and heartfelt gifts for the holidays. By skipping the mall and heading to the kitchen, you'll be saving money, reducing your stress and making gifts your family and friends will really enjoy. Take it away, Molly!

    Giving is what makes the midwinter holidays such a heartwarming season. So much time and care is spent selecting the "perfect" gift for those on our list that it can be expensive and stressful. You can save money and reduce the stress of rushing around overcrowded malls looking for the perfect gift by giving easy-to-make homemade gifts in a jar. They contain inexpensive ingredients and are simple to make. They can easily be made ahead of time, and, when given early, they can be enjoyed and shared during the holiday season. Gifts from the heart don't have to take very much time at all and are a wonderful expression of your own love, imagination and creativity. The possibilities are endless!

    Prepare and give festive preserves, relishes, syrups or sauces. Assemble baking mixes or assorted beans and seasonings for soup in jazzy, beribboned pint or quart canning jars to make great gifts for family or coworkers, or you could bake breads or cakes in the jars.

    A thoughtful present is always appreciated, especially one that has a personal touch. Be sure to think about the recipient when making your gifts: do they enjoy baking or would they prefer a food gift that's ready to eat? Are they on a special diet or do they have food allergies? A basket can be made to suit the dietary restrictions of the recipient, such as diabetic, vegan, vegetarian, or gluten intolerance. This kind of thoughtful touch is what makes these gifts so special.

    Molly isn't joking around when she says the possibilities are endless. We've just scratched the surface for ideas here, but please continue on to her Holiday Gifts from the Heart discussion in the Canning forum where you'll get hundreds of recipes, tips, ideas for packaging and instructions on how to make the perfect gift basket. We're all trying to watch our budget these days and by using Molly's help, you can get through the holidays without breaking the bank and give wonderful gifts at the same time!

    Great post, Molly! My family has always been centered around homemade gifts; be it from the kitchen or other crafts & handiwork. They're always welcomed and some become real family treasures. It's really true that these things are made with love & that love just pours out when you open the gifts! Loveya! *Tink
