All og these mixes could be assembled and put in quart sized canning jars. Cut a circle from a pretty piece of fabric, and tie it over the top of the jar with a pretty ribbon. Put it in a small basket, with the directions tied to the ribbon, along with 2 new coffee mugs, a small cellophane bag filled with home made cookies, two pretty home made cloth napkins, and a home made tape of Christmas music. Tie up the whole basket in clear or colored cellophane paper and a big bow. This is the perfect gift for a couple with a fireplace!

Vacume sealing 1# bags of powdered sugar (I received a 50# bag!) and re-sealing them into one huge mylar bag...but, I'm going to save back a few of the 1# bags and put them into one of my "gift baskets" along with a bag of instant hot chocolate, a sealed bag of instant coffee, a sealed bag of powdered milk, and my recipe for home made capacinno. I'll also pick up some of the microwave hot cups from WM to go along with it, and a homemade card from my pc. Didn't get any Thanksgiving baskets made...maybe next year!? Now...back to re-packaging the powdered sugar!
