Ideas for Homemade Christmas Gifts – Recipes
First, let’s talk about some ideas for homemade Christmas Gifts recipes that you should begin making right now. These recipes take a little time to process, and now is the time to begin.
Easy, Delicious Homemade Kahlua
By: Rachel At The Ponds Farmhouse
This homemade gift idea needs to sit for 3 weeks; therefore, you want to begin making your homemade Kahlua asap.
This is a favorite hostess gift because it’s cost-effective and much better than purchased Kahlua.
I like to make this recipe and divide it into several small bottles.
Homemade Kahlua is great over ice cream, and this Blue Bunny and Kahlua recipe is so easy and wonderful.
Another great co*cktail is Butterfinger Martini Recipe.

By: Nicolle At Our Tiny Nest
What a great idea for a hostess gift or a gift to yourself. Nicolle shares how you can add the ingredients to a fun pot as a gift or use a mason jar and fill it with all the ingredients. Either would make a great gift that anyone would love to receive.

Homemade Limoncello
By: Rachel at The Ponds Farmhouse
Are you starting to see a theme here? LOL
This is another easy recipe that makes a great gift. It doesn’t take as long to process as the Kahlua, but you need one to two weeks.
Although Limoncello is a great co*cktail, it’s also wonderful in this Frozen Limoncello Tart with Toasted Coconut recipe.
