Granola in a Jar
Granola or Muesli are great choices. Because you can flavor it any way you like you can make a wide variety based on just this simple recipe. Put in a jar with a pretty ribbon or a decorative piece of fabric on top it can make a simple, healthy holiday treat.There's still enough time to make a batch of vanilla. While it won't be ready right away it will still be delicious and they'll think of you every time they use it all year long.You can also make vanilla sugar by placing opened vanilla beans into evaporated cane juice crystals and letting it infuse for some time before removing the vanilla bean and packaging up the sugar. And in a similar vein, but with a twist, why not make flavored salt. I got the idea for this after seeing all the different bottles at the grocery store. They're rather pricey and yet so simple to make at home.
