Home made gifts thread anyone?

I hope I haven't missed another thread about this, but I was hoping to share some ideas for home made gifts!
I've decided to set a limit of only £100 this year on gifts to spend on 2 year old DS who will get £50 as he had plenty for his birthday, my parents, sister and grandma and grandad. Might have to spend on a couple of friends also!

Last year I made a chilli jam to go on crackers with cheese which went down well.
I'm thinking of making short bread biscuits and brownies to give as gifts too.

I also made cards with DS last year which cost us nothing and everyone seemed to like them! I'd normally spend £5+ per card for special ones so it saved me a fortune! I'm going to look on Pinterest or somewhere else for new designs to do this year.
I could possibly do my own Lino print cards to give out!

Has anyone got any reasonably priced ideas for things they like to make to give as gifts? Smile

I can't believe I'm getting excited about Christmas already Grin

Sainsburys have kilner bottles from £1.27.

Thanks PJ. Will pop in and have a look. Have 7 hampers to make and was hoping for two flavours in each but I think that will cost too much so it's 1 flavour each!!

fyi Tiger have little kilner type jars, 2 for £1. They look a good size for the cognac mustard i'm thinking of making.

EBay is a good place to look for eg a half dozen small kilners, jam jars, bottles etc.
