Gwen says
Thanks, Rachel! I love homemade jams! Great gift to give 🙂
Nico @ yumsome says
Oh wow, these are all exactly the kind of gifts I’d love to receive… but never do! Ha ha ha! I guess I’ll just have to make them myself. Especially that fudge!
Thank you so much for including my Turkish Delight! xx
Gwen says
These are definitely the kind of gifts I like to receive too, Nico! I do get some, but only sometimes 🙂 I hope you get some this year! And thanks for letting me use your Turkish delights recipe! I will be trying it soon!
Starr says
So much deliciousness!!! That Coconut Fudge sounds very similar to one my grandmother made, so I’ll definitely have to give it a try (my cousin will LOVE it!).
Gwen says
I’ve been making that coconut fudge since I was a teenager! It’s so, so good! If you try, let me know how you like it, Starr!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
Gwen, everything looks seriously AMAZING!! You rock all the socks off (imagine there are thousands of reindeer socks on… something haha) for putting this together. I’m drooling in a most unattractive way over all of these recipes. Ya know I love your dark chocolate peppermint truffles! Thank you for including me–I’m honored. 🙂 Happy holidays, my dear friend. <3
Gwen says
So very flattered that you think I rock all the reindeer socks 😉 Thanks, Demeter! And what is a roundup without something from The Beaming Baker? 🙂 Happy holidays to you too! (and I may have drooled a bit while putting this together too, shhhh…)
Jenn says
These are my kind of gifts!! Thank you so much for including my Toffee Bars!
Gwen says
You’re very welcome, Jenn! And I’ve got your toffee bars on my list to make!
Lian says
They all look fabulous! I would love to try the dark chocolate mint truffles and the chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies! My family would probably eat them before I get to!
Gwen says
Thanks, Lian! I want to try those crinkle cookies too! I want to try all of them 🙂 But yes, the trick is keeping them away from everyone and not eating them all yourself! 😉
Natalie | Feasting on Fruit says
Thanks so much for organizing this Gwen, it looks wonderful! Homemade gifts are the best, plus you get to sample along the way 🙂 Sharing!
Gwen says
They really are the best, Natalie! I love giving and receiving them. And yes, one of the best parts is the sampling along the way 😉 Thank you!
