DIY Holiday gift: which would you rather have?

J & I (it's mostly me, go figure) would like to give each of our Aunts/Uncles a small, DIY gift for Christmas. We're already giving them each a framed family photo from our wedding, and I want to give them decorated jars with either cookies, hot cocoa mix or some other treat, but am being indecisive.. (what else is new!)

 

So, which sounds tastier?

  • My response may be skewed because it's cold and rainy and miserable here, AND because I really wanted hot chocolate last night.  :-)

  • I said chocolate chip cookies, but I wanted to say "other" just so you'd mail me some too. :-)

    I don't drink cocoa, and not everyone will, so I would go something more universally consumed like choc chip cookies.

    I hit the chocolate cookie option right before I saw the mail one to me option!

    I rescind my vote.  Send one to me please.

  • I picked to make/gift a mix, but I too want some mailed to me! As if I don't habe enough to make me fatter already going on in my own house...

  • I like the jars with the ingredients and directions for cookies in them.  I've seen them for chocolate chip, oatmeal, etc.  I think they turn out cute, like the one you PIP'd, and who doesn't like cookies?  Even if they don't like cookies, they can make them and bring them to work or something.

    I've also seen the jar idea done with soup, too, which I think can be cute but it's harder to pick a soup that people universally like.

  • I can't believe you posted this because that is such a awesome gift option, I am totally going to be a copy cat you and do this for our family.

  • lets be honest, i would be happy with ANY of those options.  they all sound great.

     

    last year i got a curry lentil soup mix in a jar that a friend made me.  it was SOSOSOGOOD. 

  • I didn't vote because I'm now paralyzed with indecision. Hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies. Hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies. BOTH ALL EVERYTHING!

    My cookie thought is this: everyone else is being a fancy dancer holiday cookie maker. Keep it simple and delicious.

  • If you're looking to snazz it up a bit, or add some color, you could make them m&m choco chip cookies.  That would add some pizazz to the jar.  Smile

  • I picked the keep it classic - choc chip cookies. Normally I would be right on point with everyone else and say send me one-- but-- I need to lose some poundage and scarfing down those yummies on my own (as Otto doesn't like cookies) would be a disaster! :o)
