Homemade treats make memorable gifts, perfect for letting someone know you care. If you dread the mall crowds and long lineups, homemade desserts are a thoughtful alternative that even the glitziest store-bought gifts struggle to match in the charm department. A parcel of baked goodies adorned with ribbon is the perfect solution for those with whom you are too acquainted to just get a card and not familiar enough to buy a gift. Make sure to leave enough time to make and wrap your treats.
