I make baskets from things we have been making all year long.
Jam and jelly (pepper jelly, tomato preserves, cranberry/pepper jelly)
pickled peppers (jalapeno and red chilli)
dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, mint, parsley)
crushed dried hot peppers (red peppers)
a handmade ornament (this years is hand painted and blown eggs)
homemade beer
fresh eggs/yogurt/cheese from our chickens and goats
a dessert
black walnuts from our trees
3 kinds of homemade soap
I have no idea what else.
The kids have each chosen one person from our extended family and is making a gift. One dau is making one grandmother a crocheted blanket, another dau is knitting the other grandmother a winter scarf, etc.
It is our most favorite time of the year.
