I love giving and receiving home made gifts. And those chewy cinnamon almond cookies are one of the ones going into my cookie baking this year! I am making 4 different kinds. Too bad most of the recipients won't even realize how nourishing the cookies actually are!
ReplyDeleteI love the ideas for lotions and body butter. I know a few people who would be happy to get one of those!

These are some great ideas. I wanted to say that I love the idea of the tallow candles. I *personally* would save it all up for frying something like chips or fries, but you are clearly way more generous than I am!
