Wow what a nice idea. I’d like to give away a homemade cocoa and chilli marinade for roasts and vanilla flavoured salt. Now that is creative, right?
Now THAT’S awesome!!! Do you have a recipe for that…I would love to try that
ahhh i love this!!
I’d like to give away loaves of banana bread w/frosting to drizzle on top.
I love the gift of bread…so nice to slice and serve to guests, especially when you’re in the midst of all the business of the holiday meal! Thanks for sharing Rebecca
I am going home today and will hopefully have the recipe posted by Saturday with everything worked out:) I think the best gift would be homemade bread, but not just any bread. Maple chocolate chip bread with maple glaze and bacon crumbles:) I think everyone will want this for the holidays:)
Oh man…I want to be on YOUR Christmas List!! You had me at bacon crumbles
Look forward to your recipe and thanks for sharing!
Cannot wait to share:)
I also would love to give away some creamer along with the recipe, and a loaf of my Almond Joy Pound Cake:) http://bakingbad.com/?p=941
Thanks for sharing Hilary….If you’re needing someone to give the Almond Joy Pound Cake too, I’ve got my hand raised to volunteer. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it
I love making homemade Frangos for people. They’re a Seattle tradition! Chocolate Orange are my favorite.
Ohhhh what are Frangos?? I’ll have to research, the combination of orange and chocolate is enough to peak my interest for sure!
I like giving away limoncello. I swear if I win this, I will keep my wife from using it in the garage. She’ll have to get it away from me!
HHAHA that is priceless
Limoncello is one of my all time favorite things so uhh if you need to give some of THAT away…just sayin’ 
I recently made “Chris-mousse Balls” for a cookie exchange and they are SOOOOO easy to make (well, except for that ‘dipping in melted chocolate’ part…grrrr!) and they got voted as “Most Popular” out of 12 other cookies! So, yeah, a ton of those WILL be given away next week (I’m on stay-cation JUST for this purpose!).
I mean, if I’m going to be a rolly-poly this year, I want as much company as possible!! LOL!
I want a stay-cation!! The mousse balls sound divine, I would for sure be a rolly-polly with ya
Scoochin’ over on the sofa…
My handmade truffles with the best belgium chocolate I can buy.
Truffles are always a good gift! (hint hint to my family)
Sesame Wonton Crackers with Peanut Dipping sauce. I put the sauce in a small Ball jar inside a chinese take out box and fill with the crackers. Last year I bought fortune cookie ornaments online and tied one to each box. Can’t find any this year. Any suggestions?
What a fantastic idea!! I have never seen a fortune cookie ornament but found this link for a fairly affordable one…My family would love to get a gift like this!

Thanks, Mrs. C! Found frosty plastic take out boxes at the dollar store..since you can see through these, I’m lining them with shredding that looks like cellophane noodles. Someone else told me about Bronner’s for reasonable glass ornaments. Off to research!
Love the cellophane noodle idea! Your friends must love the heck outta you
Would love to see a final product picture!
Just finished making spiced chai mix. Will include a bag of homemade marshmallows in a mug and voila! My girlfriends will love it!
If anything makes me wanna do a good old-fashioned swoon, it’s Chai Tea! Great idea
This weekend my sister and I will be putting together coffee mugs with homemade instant hot chocolate mix and chocolate covered peppermint sticks for our co-workers and friends.
Such a nice treat to receive….have you ever made chocolate covered spoons to go with it? Thanks for sharing Jenny
Homemade cinnamon rolls, most people are happy to get them!
I know I would be….cinnamon rolls are just too darn good! Thanks for sharing Terri and good luck
I always give a quart Jar of Salsa and homemade tortilla chips to our neighbors and friends.
Absolutely nothing better than a gift you can serve to your holiday guests. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing Juli and good luck
What a great giveaway!
I make Bourbon Balls, fudge & divinity every year. This year I’m also experimenting with homemade marshmallows =o)
My grandma made divinity and it’s the one thing that I don’t even TRY to make..it’s a memory for me and I’m sure I couldn’t live up to hers. What a special gift you give. Thanks for sharing and good luck
I made Kaulua for Christmas presents. I used mocha coffee to make the taste even better!
Oh WOW Kari…what a great gift and amazing to use on Christmas for a nice cup of coffee! Thanks for sharing and good luck
I love to give Christmas Tree Spritz cookies. I color the dough green and put red sprinkles on top before baking. they are wonderful. My best memory however is my mom would make sweet rolls, place them on a plate in the shape of a Christmas Tree and put red and green candied fruit around on top like ornaments. We delivered many plates of those while I was growing up.
I remember my mother making a plate of rolls similar to what you described, such a treasured memory! I love giving and receiving cookies at Christmas, you end up with a fantastic arrangement of different cookies. Thanks for sharing Robin and good luck
I have given Russian Tea Cakes (aka Mexican Wedding Cakes) in a pretty tin for Christmas. I like them because they keep a long time without tasting stale.
My husband’s all-time favorite! He’s going to see this and want some I’m sure! Thanks for sharing your idea Sandy and Good Luck
The thing that is most popular from my kitchen are my dark chocolate mint cookies. I never saw myself as much of a baker, but I try, and apparently those turn out really well because I’m always asked for more
. Cool giveaway!
Dark chocolate and mint? What could be better…sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing Melissa and good luck
I think this contest is so cool! On my blog, I gave away a Yankee Candle and a box of my biscotti and caramels…I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Love ya, Coffee Break/Meredith Merriner
I adore homemade biscotti, perfect with a good cup of coffee in the morning, and who doesn’t love caramels?? Thanks for sharing Meredith and good luck
I made cake pops with cake and icing, dipped in chocolate.I also did chocalate dipped with sprinkles spoons.And bags of white chocolate covered popcorn and peanuts.I made these for my Grandson’s class today.They were chocolate and sugar overloaded- for sure.They all had a wonderful day.They had a “Polar Express ” movie day.They had doughnuts and hot chocolate also.
Sounds like a fantastic day to me! My youngest and I LOVE that movie…What a fantastic lady you are to be so involved! Thanks for sharing Gail and good luck
Peanut butter balls, rocky road candy and nutty fingers (they take forever to make). If I give my brothers gifts instead of food they want to know when they are getting their cookies and candies!!!
Nutty fingers? I believe I shall need 10 of those! Thanks for sharing Jeannean and good luck
My daughter makes them for me and I would love to show her that I can do it also….Enjoy your holiday
What a nice daughter you have! Happy Holidays Ginger and good luck
Each your we (the four small but oh so eager) kiddos and me make our tried and true sugar cookie recipe. We do angels and Christmas trees and then decorate them…Now let me explain what the definition of decorate is to a 5,5,7 and 9 year old child in our home….pile frosting thickly and ever so proudly onto the cookie, then excited top with coconut, sprinklers – endless sprinkles, gum drops, M&M’s, crushed candy canes and anything else they can discover in our house that might be a great topping for their cookies. The most important part of our cookies is that as they decorate them they know exactly who they are doing it for. It’s the folks at the nursing home in our hometown. It’s also such a special moment in my heart when I can see children creating something and sharing it with the older generation and in some small way giving back to such an honorable era. Merry Christmas!
Such a fantastic tradition and great lesson to pass down to your children. Thanks for sharing Darilynn and good luck
