I'm not much of a crafter, (as evidenced by the fact that it takes me about two years to knit a baby blanket) but I'm always on the hunt for ways to make gift giving a little more fun and creative - for both me and the kiddos. Starting way back about 10 years ago, when we gave everyone cookie jars with Steve's wonderful home cookies, we've always had a propensity for giving, shall we say, less than commercially popular gifts. Last year we gave the grown-up men our secret family pancake recipe, and this year we wanted to take it up a notch. (Making pancakes is a tradition handed down from Steve's dad, to Steve and now to Jonas.) Thanks to Pinterest, I've found some dandy ideas and thought I'd share some of favourites.
Cheers!
