This year, the kids and I are making some presents again to give to our friends and family...We are also taking brown paper bags and decorating them with holiday decorations (stickers, stamps, markers) and ribbon... The tags I printed out from Organized Christmas ... I really love this site..It has great ideas that I use every year... Here are some of the things we are doing this year...
Baking cookies to place in tins -
1. "reindeer" cookies made out of Nutter Butter sandwich cookies, pretzels, and decorated 
2. making "OH SO EASY" peanut butter blossoms (yummy!!) You can find the recipe here.
3. Christmas Fudge 
4. traditional sugar cookies 
5. M&M Brownies - and I use the "BEST" ever brownie recipe (at least that is what the site called it, and I have to agree it was darn good...) http://baking.about.com/od/brownies/a/bestrecipes.htm
Making soup mixes - the recipes I like can be found here.
Painting "glass ball" ornaments with our hand-print snowmen,
candy canes and Christmas trees. Then making some "snowflake" ornaments with beads and pipecleaners. I found the idea here, although ours were definitely not that elaborate...
and then making "Snowman Soup and Reindeer Poop" which are 2 of our favorite stocking stuffer gifts for our extended family... which I also get the ideas from here.
Merry Christmas!!!
