Hi Reader!

Deciding what to gift friends and family for the holidays can be tricky, but you can never go wrong with food! 😉

Last weekend, I sent an e-mail loaded with my favorite Christmas cookies and other holiday goodies.

And while Christmas cookies are great for gifting this time of year, today I'm excited to share some of my best (non-cookie) easy DIY food gifts! 🙌
