What could be more wonderful than receiving a box of deliciously decadent homemade truffles, a jar of chutney, or a bottle of fresh raspberry cordial, all packaged beautifully with a hand written label?

With the current trend for all things thrifty and creative, now is the perfect time to explore the tradition of making and giving homemade food gifts, many of which can be almost as simple to make as to buy, and a great deal more satisfying for both the giver and the recipient.

Accompanied by creative packaging ideas to give your gift an elegant twist that will be remembered long after it has been devoured, and with a huge variety of imaginative recipes for every season and occasion, from Turkish delight, Chinese fortune cookies and lemon curd, to herbal teas, spiced cherry tomato jam and chilli vodka, there is sure to be something for everyone. Who wouldn't love to receive a jar of homemade chutney, a tray of gooey brownies, a bottle of fresh raspberry cordial or a box of delicate almond friands?

There is sure to be something for everyone here, whether you want to celebrate a birthday, a wedding, the arrival of a new baby, welcome someone into their new home or just say thank you. Annie's inventive ideas will inspire homemade gifts that are filled with love and originality.
