NEIGHBOR GIFTS #1

It's hard to know what to give your neighbors for the holidays. But I'm a neighbor and my favorite gifts are homemade items that say, "I'm thinking about you". This is the first of ten gift ideas for your neighbors.
Consider giving your favorite homemade jams and jellies as gifts. Preserves are a perfect gift because they are beautiful, yummy and inexpensive. Martha Stewart suggests decorating the jar tops with cupcake wrappers which I think is just fabulous.
The best jars are the little odd shaped jars you find in your grandma's pantry. It's best to check the antique stores or your actual grandma's pantry and give the old cast-aways a new purpose. Don't forget to add your own personalized label on the bottle.
