I love the stacked chocolate bars with a ribbon idea - I inevitably need an extra couple of little giftlets to have on hand. You two are getting me all geared up for Christmas - YAY!

I like chocolate idea too, there is one on my list that loves chocolate. You two are a good duo, helping us all save more money.

Oh! It's a tradition in our family to bake our own gingerbread house each year. I make an extra batch for tiny houses and invite the kids' friends over to make their own. This is a great way to use up all the Halloween candy;)

Loved it! Love the bag idea :) Thanks!!

jz! Love that idea for left over candy!!! What a great idea for a classroom project too! Since it's "holiday" themed and not religious based, it's still ok to do that type of project in school!

Every year, after Xmas of course, my Mom trolls for clearance Xmas themed mini-loaf pans. She stashes them away, and when the holiday rolls around she bakes up a batch of her signature banana bread in the mini-loaf pans, wraps them in cellophane with a ribbon, and attaches the recipe, handwritten, on a recipe card. Personal, home-y and super frugal way to cover her bases gifting to all those people you need to conjure a gift for that slipped your mind.

Great tips Nancy and Faye! Ya'll are good together!

Great ideas ladies!

Oxy, I start the traditional annual baking for giving tomorrow :) Love doing that, it lets me know 'tis the season!

Nancy - as always - I had lots of fun with you today! Thank you again for doing the video with me!

My thanks to Anne as well for filming the segment and keeping us on time because it would be a 30 minute video if she didn't!
