Christmas Hamper Ideas

[judydawn]

DG, this shortbread recipe is very popular at this time of the year. It is from the little booklet Festive Flavour which H.O. put out a couple of years ago.
Here's a review.

Welcome back, Kathryn, you are amazing tackling hampers at the moment.

The joys of having young children - life MUST go on and Christmas waits for no one!

Here is what ILB had to say in the review link DG, I haven't even made them as I am not a fan of shortbread.

"I think theese will last for about 2 weeks or so without chocolate in an airtight container. With chocolate it will need to be kept in the fridge (for about a week or a little longer.)"

Thanks JD xxx

Here's a photo of the trays of cookies remaining after I had packed several tins to include in holiday baskets.


Two varieties were entirely used up and I only had a few left of the sturdy peanut butter cookies and the banana nut cookies.

I still have a bowl full of the peanut butter cookie dough but don't know if I will get time to bake them off before I leave next Tuesday.

That looks like quite a feast, Andie.  I'm sure the recipients will be absolutely delighted.

Sounds like you are off on holiday so, have a great time and safe travels - don't forget to drop in now and then to keep us in touch with what you are up to.

Best wishes of the season to you.

Thought it was about time to bump this thread and I mentioned it elsewhere so thought it may help to have it up the top

It sure is Meaghan!  I think I will be adding some of Tenina's flavored salts to mine this year.

Thanks for bumping this, my plan this year is to make hampers for DH's family when we go back in December as early Xmas presents.

Thanks  for bumping this Meagan - have been thinking about this for a while now - (but haven't done anything about it yet . . . ) Wanting to be all organised this year . . which is what I say every year - but somehow it doesn't quite work out that way . . 

[obbie]

Thanks for bumping this. I am starting to do my list for hampers.
