Homemade Gift Ideas + $500 Amazon.com Giveaway (Healthy Green Kitchen)

I adore making homemade gifts for family and friends during the holiday season. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites in this post…I also have a fabulous giveaway to share with you.

For gift giving, homemade candies are always a hit and they keep really well…the same can be said of my body scrubs and bath salts. And of course, cookies and granola make yummy gifts, too. I personally like to pack up samples of a few different things in little boxes or glass jars and give folks a small bag of my goodies. Hanukkah was very early this year so I’ve missed the boat on that, but I will probably be sharing a few more homemade gift ideas here in the weeks to come so look out for those.

These marshmallows are SO good. I’ve been mini-fying them and putting them in hot cocoa. Yum.

This Spiced Pumpkin Granola is delicious. I need to make a big batch stat.

Boozy Candied Kumquats with Vanilla Bean…need I say more?

These Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies made with fair-trade chocolate are a favorite of mine this time of year.

Candied orange peels are really tasty, and they’re even better when you dip them in chocolate.

Body scrubs are easy to make and they are fun to give away. This tangerine sugar one is really lovely.

Super easy-to-throw-together bath salts are a great last-minute gift.

Here are a few more homemade gift ideas:

Pear Liqueur
Nutty Olive Oil Granola
Sweet and Spicy Pecans
Caramel Popcorn with Rosemary
Preserved Meyer Lemons
Homemade Body Scrub
Chocolate Mint Sugar Scrub
Jam Filled Bow-Tie Cookies
