Home made goodies are a popular Christmas gift.
They’re personal, they’re delicious and they’re usually a good way to be frugal about your gift giving.
Sometimes the cost of packaging them is more than the cost of the goodies themselves.
Here is one idea to save a little money.
At our house we drink a lot of Crystal Light.
I hated throwing out that plastic container. Even to the recycling bin. It seemed like such a waste. So I started collecting them and thinking of a way to put them to good use.
Last year we made caramel and chocolate dipped pretzel rods which fit perfectly in the Crystal Light containers. A few pieces of scrapbook paper and a floral pick to dress it up and we had a free way to present our home made treats to the neighbors.
I’ve been saving up all year to do it again!
