Nothing says love more than making a present to give to someone. We always make edible gifts, it’s something the children enjoy doing (the control freak in me has to stand back at times) and they love handing over their homemade pressies. I think they secretly hope they get some back too as more often than not the presents involve copious amounts of chocolate!
And what better excuse to get baking/making/melting than for Christmas presents…you can really go to town. Also, homemade gifts are brilliant if you’ve left things to the last minute or you have forgotten someone, they will never ever know when you present them with something you have lovingly made for them.
The food blogging community have a whole host of wonderful ideas for edible gifts so there should be something to satisfy every taste and to help inspire. Let me know what you make and I would love to see the photos!

Thanks Kavey, yes I think looking at food blogs generally should not be done on an empty stomach! ๐
