We\u2019re obsessed with this unique idea! Not only do you make a special dip mix for someone, customizing it for their tastes, but you also put it in adorable ornaments to adorn any kitchen. These are perfect for handing out in the office or as a hostess gift, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Pesto<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pesto sauce is one of those recipes that looks intimidating, so you just buy a jar in a store, and then it turns out it was shockingly easy to make all along! This one has a little arugula twist in it, adding flavor and spiciness. A traditional pesto recipe calls for a mortar and some elbow grease, but nowadays, a food processor and chill are totally acceptable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soup in a Jar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel a bit overloaded on sweets this holiday season, that’s understandable! Mix things up a bit with this soup in a jar. The original recipe makes 12 servings of a hearty soup, excellent for cold winter nights. Put the ingredients in layers to make it even more pretty, add a pinch of love and a recipe cardboard tag, and you\u2019ve got a nice present with a personal touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love these gifts as New Year treats, especially since they last longer than traditional baked goods that need to be eaten right away. Prep your shopping list, and have fun in the kitchen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
