DIY Christmas Gift – Baking and Tea Towels

 

Fa la la la la, la la la… la! Hey now, it’s almost that time. Y’know… Festivus… Holi… Feliz … Okay, Christmas — I said it! And, it’s time to start planning for it! A bunch of fantastic bloggers and myself have got you covered. All month long, we’ll be sharing our favourite DIY Christmas Gift Ideas, in our Christmas Blog Hop!

It’s fitting that my first share, is also my most trusted, and “go-to” gift, EVERY Christmas. Baking! But, not just baking… I’ll show you how to easily step up your game, and make your packaging thoughtful, and match the personality, of your loved one! (This post may contain affiliate links.

Today, I’m working with Banana Bread. I gave this recipe a shot, this time around. (The great thing about loaves and cookies… they freeze wonderfully, so go ahead and get them ready, well ahead of time!) Start now!
