EASY GIFTS TO KEEP ON HAND
http://gardenandhearth.com/HomemadeGifts/Hostess-Gifts.htm

How about something that reflects your favorite craft? A basket of handmade cards, melt and pour your own soaps, etc.

During the holidays, a simple ornament or Christmas decoration (Dress up a Whisk with a tag that says *Whisking you a Merry Christmas).

If food gifts are not an option, how about something for the kitchen? An herb plant (the gift that keeps on giving) or a set up recipe cards that you have printed up on your computer.

Just a few ideas I have this early in the morning!

I have repeatedly given this as a hostess gift and every time I see a hostess-she says how she thinks of me each time she uses it. The gift being the all stainless steel-one piece- paring knife, tomato knife and the sharpener.

Good idea----Thanks. Would Tuesday Morning store have something like that?

Hop over to the Food forum and check out the recipe for 'les herbes salees.'

I'd be so excited if someone brought a little pot of those to my house. Would be okay for almost any diet - with the possible exception of low sodium.
