She concludes the book with additional ideas for wrapping the gifts you make, suggestions for making gift tags, and tips for safely mailing your creations. In between, the book has several recipes sure to please.
Treats to make and give away include cookies, party snacks, spices, flavored oils and vinegars, soup kits, drink mixes and more. Each recipe includes a section to help you package/wrap your gift accordingly. For example, make Stained Glass Fudge and tuck it into a home-made stained glass container. You can make a batch of peanut butter cookies and store them in a reusable container made from a potato chip container wrapped in colorful cord.
