Suggestions for teacher gifts...
Comments (14)ccaggiano, I agree that the raspberry chocolate jam is one to make when berries are in season! (And preferably at Pick-your-own prices. This summer I got young nieces who were visiting to help with the picking---definitely the ideal way to go for that one. ;-) ) Your thought to go with something cranberry makes sense to me given the time of year. (Cranberries were on sale here last week for only 1.99 a 3-cup bag; maybe you'll get a sale this week!) I haven't tried the brandied conserve but I've made the Cranberry Pear Lemon jam from Small Batch---it rocks, and makes a lovely deep red-coloured jar for gifting. Decent pears are usually still available from California. Another good option for this time of year might be some kind of orange or tangerine marmalade thing. But I don't have a specific suggestion for a good one, and people's tastes vary widely as to whether they like bitter or sweet marmalades. Habanero gold is another possibility---make it mild (with just a hint of hab and mostly sweet peppers). It looks SO pretty. One package of dried apricots, a four-pack of sweet peppers and one or two hot peppers should do it. Use Carol's big batch "Hot 'n Sweet Confetti Jelly" version to save on pectin costs. The other key to economical gift-giving is to give four-ounce jars---they are cute and the recipients like 'em just as much as half-pint jars. (OTOH, if you HAVE half-pint jars, you won't be saving by buying a new box of jars. ;-) ) Good luck and have fun. I agree with sage721 that your homemade gifts will be deeply appreciated. Z, who gives pretty much EVERYONE homemade gifts these days...See MoreTeacher Gift

Comments (8)I would think twice about spending that kind of money on a mug for a teacher. I know many teachers, both elementary and secondary, and all of them say that they receive too many mugs at Christmas. One teacher I know received 5 from her students one year. A much more appreciated gift would be a gift certificate to Office Depot or a teacher store or a book store. A Catholic High School where one of my children went had a school wide collection for the teacher's Christmas gift. The money was totaled up and every employee from the principal to the part time janitor received some money -- all an equal amount. It was done by the PTA. The teacher's loved it. Another school had the room mom take up a collection, and the teacher received a very nice gift certificate to the mall. She was thrilled!...See MoreJewelry Bags...
Comments (23)Oh, thank you for posting this. I have one I've had for a number of years - over 20 - and I USE it! The person who made it (now deceased) refused to give me directions. I was skeptical, but have proven it over & over, that a chain necklace, gently dropped into one of those pockets, will not tangle ~~ how nice when going somewhere (vaction, weekend trip, anywhere). I really like it. To help me (I'm more visual, too), I copied your directions into my personal folder for things like this, and then spaced it out between steps. That helps me keep track of where I am & what I'm to do next whether it's trying to sew or bake. I've printed the pix of the finished product, too. "surely" I can make one :-) or 2, or 3, or ??? Don't have a serger so I'll have to sew/turn the fabric. Again, I thank you so much for posting the directions....See More- 23 years ago
