No one had ever seen them before and they were a huge hit. The recipe I found became our default brownie recipe. I add in a layer of dried cranberries to make them look even more festive. I have also given homemade muesli in jars as gifts, again with cranberries or goji berries for colour and a brown card tag with red ribbon, a cinnamon stick and sprig of greenery for a festive trim. The other gift in a jar which has been well received is chai tea. The Bonne Maman jars are perfect for this and are my excuse for buying the jam!<br />Can you tell I used to run Christmas decorating seminars? I loved finding ideas for gifts and sharing them with the ladies that came out to my home but now Pinterest has taken over the world I'm not sure there is a need for them. My tree is up but I have not gone overboard this year... I do intend to fill my home with fresh greenery on Christmas Eve though as we have a tall conifer that must be trimmed and I intend to set a beautiful table with vintage china. I have a lady that is hiring our china, cutlery and glassware for her Christmas table and I have a high tea booking this weekend. If I do not stop by again before Christmas I pray your Christmas is a beautiful and blessed one. I still read your posts and have not forgotten you and you do know I intend to visit you one day - we are bound to take a trip to NZ sooner or later! My daughter is off to the States in May and meeting another of my blogger friends who is hosting her for 3 days in Missouri.
