7 Homemade Gifts from Our Kitchen

Handmade gifts from the kitchen are some of the best presents to give—and receive! So this month we’re putting together pretty packages of our favourite homemade edibles in this collection of easy-to-make items. Offer everyone on your holiday shopping list the very best of the season, along with something delicious and straight from the heart.

	Peppermint Pretzel Sticks Using only three ingredients, this homemade favourite disappears quickly, so be sure to make plenty—especially for the little kids on your list. Pretzel rods can usually be found in major supermarkets, cake decorating stores and in the baking section of bigger craft supply shops.
	Coffee Cream Liqueur This makes an excellent gift for a hostess, or just a cocktail- or coffee-loving friend. Serve this creamy, decadent liqueur over ice or add a hefty splash to a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
	Pumpkin and Dried Cranberry Granola This homemade granola is crunchy, lightly scented with fresh ground spices and toasted oats, and contains about half the fat and sugar of its store-bought counterparts. Bake some for the health-conscious folks in your life, or for anyone who would appreciate a tin of something fresh from your oven.
