Bought some jars of peanut butter on half price only to make those.<br /><br />Thanks for inspiring us to give homemade gifts. My mom used to do this a lot but my hubby prefers to give store-bought stuff or gift vouchers as presents, so I hardly get any chance to give homemade presents. Knowing him, I don't want to let him go alone to buy presents as he would spend much more than he should on them.<br /><br />The other day he had to attend a party but he was extremely busy and didn't have the time to go out looking for a present. Actually he remembered it the day before while checking the calendar. I was not well to attend it but well enough to hang around in my kitchen. So I baked a cake, wrapped it beautifully as mom does and gave it to him. He looked happy and I managed to save a small fortune. Keeping my fingers crossed he would appreciate this to do more often.<br /><br />I've been making my own cards too but not tags yet. Time to start.<br /><br />Thank you.<br />Best regards,<br />MillieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-52383006827748781812015-09-23T02:25:36.571+10:002015-09-23T02:25:36.571+10:00Yes, cookies here in the U.S.!

Here, biscuits are a bread type product, small and round that we put butter and perhaps jelly on.

I can't believe people buy them. The jars look pretty though so I've mastered taking a photo on my phone and downloading it into a folder at home so I can find the idea again when I want it.<br /><br />Melting moments are my favourite biscuit to give, old fashioned favourite that is so easy to make and cheap to boot, they always go over well.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-41637447821026102362015-09-21T23:50:11.386+10:002015-09-21T23:50:11.386+10:00I love this.

They keep a year so I can do them ahead. They are so handy.<br />My easiest biscuits are giant and filling a pizza pan. Before cold I score it into 8 but leave it whole. Like a pizza. Then wrap,with cellophane. Shortbread is good this way. Very quick but impressive. Always a hit! My best biscuits are gingerbread or shortbread. <br />I agree they are the perfect gift!Annabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-66469325296397856542015-09-21T16:43:56.080+10:002015-09-21T16:43:56.080+10:00Thankyou.

I have lots of young males to buy for as both boys get invited to parties during the year, so I will be doing this next time. <br />Also great to give as teacher presents, especially male teachers.<br />All your bickies look gorgeous, xxx<br /><br />MaureenMaureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-59962289523284197942015-09-21T09:56:36.896+10:002015-09-21T09:56:36.896+10:00Wendy, your bikkies are delicious and have been a ...Wendy, your bikkies are delicious and have been a big hit in our household.
