Christmas Goodies -- Popular Christmas Gifts
Christmas goodies are popular Christmas gifts and can make lovely Christmas food gift baskets. And, they are appropriate gifts for men, women, friends, family, and coworkers. This is a good choice if you have a limited budget or if you want to make several identical gifts. If you live near a dollar or other discount store, you should find small baskets, shred, as well as other items to place in your gift baskets. Use red, green, or gold to your Christmas goodies gift baskets; this 
can be in the filler products (shred, tissue, raffia), small silk red flowers or greenery between the gifts, or gold, red, or green bows or curly ribbon to finish off your gift baskets. Another nice touch is to add a Christmas theme cookie cutter tied in with the bow or ribbon.
A nice idea is to choose a square white wicker basket and line it with quality Christmas theme paper napkins or a holiday plaid cloth napkin. Then fill your

gift basket with individually wrapped Christmas cookies, chocolates, candy canes, hot chocolate mix, herbal tea bags, or small packages of gourmet coffee. Mix in some purchased chocolates with red, gold, and green foil wrappers -- such as Hershey's Kisses.

DECORATIVE TIPS:
Using Christmas cookie cutters I cut out several cookies that are intended to be Christmas ornaments. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and sprinkle with red or green sugar. Next, before baking, poke a hole in each cookie, which after baking, you will thread through narrow ribbon or raffia. Use enough ribbon to tie a bow so it can be hung it on a tree or placed in a wreath. Wrap each cookie individually in a small cello bag or clear Sarah Wrap so it doesn't get broken or soiled in your gift basket. This is a wonderful idea for a cookie exchange or to send to school with your children.Large Assortment of Free Christmas E Cards:
