Collapse ▲One of the best gifts to give someone is a homemade gift. Making food-related gifts for your friends and family can be a wonderful way to put a personal touch on the holiday and get creative while doing it. If you are looking for some ideas for holiday gifts, join us for our monthly Lunch N’ Learn “Holiday Gifts from the Kitchen” on Tuesday, December 13th at noon at the Person County Auditorium. It will be held. It is only $5 to attend, and your registration fee must be received by December 10th. Learn how to save money with handmade gifts this holiday season. This session will feature demonstrations on how to make a variety of handmade gifts. Food mixes in a jar are just one of the things that makes a great gift for your friends and family. Or join us virtually for free on Tuesday, December 20th at noon. Register online at go.ncsu.edu/fcsregistration. When you are decorating homemade gifts, be creative and use whatever you have on hand. If you are giving a food gift, you could also add in a gift to help prepare the recipe such as a small whisk, potholder, mixing spoon, etc. And be creative by adding on a bright, decorative gift tag with a cute little phrase. Be sure to take care of food allergies by clearly listing any ingredients on the label or gift tag. If you are looking for other homemade crafts to make and give, then be sure to check out the variety of workshops available this month at the Person County Senior Center.
