Handmade gifts are always special and unique. One of your favorite creations is a holiday gift basket, which is a great idea for a thoughtful and personalized gift. Creating a holiday gift basket is simple and fun. You can customize it to suit the recipient’s interests and preferences. It’s also a great way to show someone that you care. Gift Basket #1 The sweet treat basket This basket is filled with a variety of sweet treats, including baked cookies, cocoa mix, kettle corn, and a cookie mix.

Take a small bowl and mix the shaved lemon rinds with about a teaspoon of sugar.  Add a teaspoon of coconut oil and squeeze in a little lemon juice. Mix everything together and put it in a small jar with an airtight lid. A mini jam jar works well for this. Keep the jar in a cool place or in the refrigerator to make the application cool when you use it.
