10 Edible Christmas gifts your friends and family will love

10 Edible Christmas gifts your friends and family will love

Edible gifts are a great choice if you want to give a more personal gift or if you're watching the pennies. So pop on a pinny, play some Christmas music and get baking.

To make edible gifts a bit more special think about how you'll package them. Fill colourful Christmas boxes with coloured tissue and decorate jars with some nice silk ribbon or some coloured raffia. You can also tie some little Christmas decorations onto jars and boxes for a neat finishing touch.

Here are my top 10 edible gifts:
