Spaghetti sauce, breadsticks, and spaghetti for a quick dinner, or a DVD with popcorn, soda, and other snacks for movie night are nice. Or make a batch of fudge and put a "dollop" in a spoon. You can put a dried cherry, walnut or pecan half on top...after it sets up, wrap it in cellophane and put a little decoration on the handle to tie it together. You can pick up metal spoons at a resale shop or buy a box of plastic ones. It's a nice little gift for co-workers or anyone who needs a spoon at work for tea, coffee or soup. —Lynn1018 Find more homemade gift ideas » | | Amy's Blog |  | Hassle-Free Holiday Cooking Holiday recipes can be quick to prepare without losing that special touch needed to impress.
