20 Foods to Gift This Holiday Season

for food lists

We’re in the thick of the holiday season, and it’s time to start figuring out how/who to give gifts to. Here’s a list of 20 gifts that your friends who find comfort in warm and/or baked things will be able to enjoy. For some of these gifts, your friends and loved ones will even get to do the warming and/or baking in their own home! Giving food gifts is the best way to fill someone’s heart and home with love and good smells, and I just know that you’re the kind of friend who wants to do that. Make one of these in bulk or make all of them and send them out all over the world, spreading joy and good cheer.

  1. My grandfather has 2 freezers full of pecans and my grandmother is always trying to get everyone to take pounds of pecans with them every time anyone comes to see her. The pecan recipe is perfect

  2. These are fun but bean soup in a jar? Really? “Here I got you a random assortment of dried beans. Merry Christmas.” ha, I don’t know if I’d appreciate that.
