Inexpensive DIY Christmas gift ideas
We have had to cut back in a big way this Christmas, but I still want to bring small inexpensive gifts to family that we couldnt buy bigger gifts for this year. Does anyone have any ideas for cute but inexpenisve DIY gifts?

Re: Inexpensive DIY Christmas gift ideas
I knit a lot of my gifts. Dishcloths are my quick and inexpensive.
A couple of years ago I got a jar with the dry ingredients and recipe for brownies. It was artfully poured in and they were super yummy.
Love these, major.
Dev, I'm making rosemary-infused olive oil:
Rosemary Infused Oil:
1 cup olive oil
5 to 6 fresh rosemary sprigs (each 5 inches long)
Combine the oil and rosemary in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer the sprigs to a 4-ounce bottle or cruet. Add the oil and seal the lid. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.
Yield: 1 cup
One of the DiY gifts I'm making is bath salts. It's just epsom salt (or you could splurge on fancy sea salt), essential oil for fragrance and some food coloring. Find a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and you're set.
You could also make a body scrub if you're not into bath salts. Use the epsom salt (or sugar) and blend with fragranced body wash; instant salt scrub!
major, is this the one you were looking for?

I was going to copy major and do homemade pasta and home-jarred sauce, but I've got like 20-25 to do, and I'm just not that prolific.
So I'm doing the rosemary cornbread here: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/quick-breads-easy-presents?autonomy_kw=quick%20breads&rsc=header_1
