Today is part three of the Dare to DIY series and I LOVE the theme of this week!
Dare to Give Handmade!
I think that giving a gift that is handmade is something that really sticks with people these days and today I'm going to share my go-to hostess gift. It is SOOO easy!
BAM! See that... Yes it is bread & butter... "Gourmet" handmade flavored butter, to be exact!
Whipped Honey Butter, Whipped Berry Butter, & Whipped Garlic Butter! YUMMY. To make the butter I used my mini food processor to mix:
- HONEY BUTTER: 1 Stick of butter at room temperature & 2T Lavender Honey
- BERRY BUTTER: 1 Stick of butter at room temperature & 1 container of raspberries
- GARLIC BUTTER: 1 stick of butter at room temperature & 5 cloves garlic, minced
I also included a loaf of (fresh) french bread that I cut in half and wrapped with butcher paper, bakers twine and added an ornament.
All of the items are placed in a basket that I purchased from homegoods!
To me it is the perfect gift!!! You get to eat the yummy butter and bread (P.S. - the berry butter on the pancakes is AMAZING!!!) You get an ornament to hang on your tree & a basket to use for those organization projects which are sure to be a part of your New Year's Resolutions!
SOOO easy!

ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect gift idea! I like giving food gifts--inexpensive to put together, but they're personal and fun. I'm adding those butters to my gift list this year!

ReplyDeleteUmmm, so I'm always kind of "eh" on food gifts around the holidays because it's usually ALL OF THE SUGAR. But this is GENIUS! Seriously love it!
