Do you love handmade holiday gifts as much as I do?
For years, Brian and I have created homemade Christmas gifts for our friends and family – candles, paper, chocolate truffles (yum!), cutting boards, liqueur, knitted scarves, hats, fingerless gloves, and many more. Creating gifts with our own hands is something we value, something we pour our love into, and we hope that the recipients love the gifts as much as we love making them.
