| Pack Baked Goods in Layers of Baggies
|
 I have found that when taking a bag of these to people I owe a little kindness too or to those not feeling well, the one on the bottom tends to meld with the inside of the lid. To prevent this, I cut the zipper part off a ziploc baggy. Then I open the baggy, cut it in half, put one piece on the bottom and one on the top.

| Use Packaged Marshmallows for Mailing
|
|
When mailing cookies or breakable items to family and friends, use packaged marshmallows and crumpled newspaper to help cushion the item.

| Make Your Own Fruit Basket And Trays
|
|
Don't pay to get your fruit baskets made, do it yourself. You can buy a basket or pretty bowl, or anything you want too make this in. The wrap you can get at Dollar Tree and you just pull it over the basket or container and use a blow dryer on it. Just like the stores do, only less expensive.

| Making Cooking Oils for Gifts
|
|
Great gifts to give to teachers, hostess, family members. Take tall glass bottles and add oils and put in herbs and let set so oil takes in the herb flavor.

| The Gift Of Tea
|
|
One of the best gifts we ever received from a friend was a huge bag of individually wrapped name brand teabags (all different varieties and flavors). It was from a coworker, whose sister worked at a brand name tea factory and got factory discounts.

| Look For Giveaway Dishes For Food Gifts
|
|
For giving cake, cookies or candy at Christmas, to new neighbors or a sick friend, I look a garage sales, Goodwill or sales at retail stores for containers. Today at the General Dollar Store, they had their summer dinnerware on sale for half price.

| Gift Coffee Mug Jams
|
 I have a couple of friends that would like jelly but in a small amount, I started doing this years ago. Whenever I make jelly or jam, I always put approximately 3/4 cup in one of those coffee mugs I would really like to get rid of.

| Making Almond Roca
|
|
Making Almond Roca. When I make almond roca the sugar and butter mixture sometimes separates. The result is a greasy, not as hard or as tasty, product. Even when I make it on dry days this will happen. What am I doing wrong?
