    To me, homemade gifts are always the most appreciated ones, but you’ve really blown my mind with the infinite possibilities. The herbed salts, homemade vanilla and preserved lemons sound like the perfect gift for an accomplished cook or foodie, The easy drink mixes would be perfect for gifting to teachers and neighbors. I’m also a big fan of making holiday nuts — and the two versions you’ve given sound outstanding. Great ideas, Gloria!
