Looking for small gifts to give co-workers, teachers or your social group or club? Check out these holiday goodies you can make a lot of at once, for very little money.
Pour cooked popcorn in a single layer on baking sheets. Melt dark chocolate and white chocolate. Use a piping bag filled with slightly cooled, melted chocolate to make a thin stream of chocolate covering the popcorn. While the chocolate is still warm, top with toffee bits, chopped nuts or other decadent toppings. Pack two cups of cooled popcorn in cellophane bags and tie closed with a decorative string or ribbon. Attach an ornament or tag for a decorative touch.
Mix your favorite holiday cocktail in a large batch. Fill vintage-inspired bottles with the cocktails. Print the free downloadable label on sticker paper and add the name of your cocktail to the label by writing or printing. We used 12oz. bottles to hold two servings.
Give a small shaker jar of the popular spice mix; it's perfect for sprinkling on toast or coffee. Add 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice for each 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to a bowl. Stir to combine fully and then fill jars with the mix. If lids have holes, add a layer of cling film to the top of the jar before adding the lid. Finish off the gift with a free downloadable tag and a string or ribbon.
Melt 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, and one 14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk in the microwave or over a simmering pot of water in a heatproof bowl. Stir to combine fully. Press into a well-greased 8-inch square pan. Top with chopped nuts if desired. Cut into 36 equal pieces. Place four pieces in small cellophane bags and tie closed with a decorative string or ribbon.
