Good idea. I like the way you made them. ❤

I use a lot of rebate apps and collect soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, dish soap, razors, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes and make family gift baskets for Christmas.

One quick idea....take a Dollar Store whisk, fill it with Hershey Kisses, wrap in Saran wrap, add a bow. There are printable labels that say "We whisk you a Merry Kissmas." Those make great teacher, neighbor, mailperson gifts.

One Christmas, I made potato soup in a jar for neighbors. I remember it took instant mashed potatoes, dry milk, chicken bouillion powder, and I don't remember what else. Also, look up 3 2 1 mug cakes. Take 1 cake mix, any flavor, and 1 angel food cake mix. Mix then together, and when ready to make a mug cake, take 3 TBSP of the mix, 2 TBSP of water, mix well in a mug, then microwave for 1 minute. Also. look up Red Hot Apple Crisp. I forget right now what it took, but it is a similar quick mug dessert. Once you start looking online, you will find all kinds of things like that, and most have labels to print off.

If you keep the food, that's nobody's business, especially in these days, and times! We do what we do to feed our family, and ourselves!

I'm sorry Granny that stuff is so bad to eat,very unhealthy

Not a crafty person! Praying that you are doing well from the storm! God bless you! 😀❤️🙏🏻

Only 87 days until Christmas! We made seasoning mixes and gave for Christmas one year but no one used them. They were dupes for the restaurants they would go to. Good luck.

Hey! I'm okay from the Hurricane! Thanks for the prayers a couple of ya! One morning I got me an icee and a big mama pickled wienie! Breakfast of champions! LOL good haul MWG.

You gave an idea for Christmas gifts now I have to figure it out what I’m I going to make. Always thankful for your ideas and advice ❤

Popcorn flavoring (put in a dollar store salt shaker, could make up a baggie with a package of microwave popcorn) I'm your age, Granny, and have been crafting all my life, and selling things for almost 50 years. I have found that some folks are funny about buying homemade food products, and some craft shows are real particular about having food licenses. I find that I have trouble selling things at a price point of $5 and up. My selling philosophy has been "I'd rather sell 10 things at $1 each than sit with a $10 item that nobody will buy." Not to say you'll never sell a more expensive item, bur inexpensive things have been my bread and butter through the years. Good luck with your crafting and selling adventure! I wish you well!

nice food purchases 😮😊

I'm making beaded pens, they cost me about $1 buying on Amazon, I can charge $5-7. Easy and quick. I'm also making jar openers, dollar tree has the grippy fabric, I use scrap material from thrift stores for the top, my cost is about 50 cents, sell for $2-3. I'm also doing goodie bags with dollar tree socks (candy, pop tarts, chips brands) add the coordinating snack, my cost $2-3, sell for $4-5. Good stocking stuffer or teacher gifts

I just found another you tube she is making seasoned rice mixes in a canning jar. but you could use any kind of jar Colleen

Good morning I just purchased small 1.5 oz bottles form amazon Canada they worked out to 60 cents each cdn. maybe 45 usa. I am going to use these for herbal creams. bees way, oil and a dried herb there are lots of rec on you tube and take these to a Christmas chow Colleen you could also buy fancy thrift store cups and saucers.. I saw someone was making pretty candles in the tea cups. people do not really want these cups for tea but as a decoration and a candle. they could be teacher gifts,

Hope you enjoy and find some great gifts!

Great haul!

I have made hanging bird feeders from cups and saucers I bought at the thrift stores. Tilt the cup and glue it to the center of the saucer. I used e6000 glue. Use a ribbon to hang from the cup handle. Bird seed goes inside the cup and pours onto the saucer. Birds have a place to land on the saucer edge. If you could get pretty bags cheap, it could be packaged ready to give. You may be able to get a good price for them. Our craft group at church also glued cups to saucers and filled them with potpourri. We gave them to the ladies for Mother's Day. They loved them. I think vintage or holiday cups and saucers would be attractions at a craft sale. I have made lighted snowman ornaments using battery tealights from the Dollar Tree. A plate glued to a bowl turned upside down makes a pretty pedestal serving dish. It would cost $2.50 and take a few minutes to make it.

If you can find a recipe for rolled out sugar cookie dough, if you can find thrift holiday cookie cutters to attach one or two to your mix bag, it would be cute and attractive to people. Many years ago, I crocheted cotton drawstring pouches to put soap in for the bath, and they sold like hotcakes. Do you sew? What about making cute potholders? Barbie or stuffed animal style clothes for children's toys? Do up a few pre-made gift baskets with your mixes in them to sell. What about seasoning mixes for spreads or dips where you just have to add sour cream or cream cheese? I can just see a little serving bowl with a bag of dip mix in it and a spreader or serving spoon, all wrapped in cellophane with a bow as a little hostess gift. Homemade gingerbread house or gingerbread man kits for Christmas baking? What about a jar with utility candles and a book of matches in it, and on the inside of the jar lid, you can hot glue a pipe cap to act as the candle holder. Fancy up the jar lid in some way and attach a bow with a Bible verse like "Let your light so shine.." and it's a cute emergency light kit. Sew up little drawstring bags and put things like band-aids, nail clippers, a needle and thread, spot remover sachets, etc...and call them boo-boo bags for the purse.

A mug with some cocoa is always a good gift.

Are you ok with all this weather ??? Praying

Grandma, glad you're eating healthier

Happy Saturday, Grandma 🤍🤍🤍

Good Morning Granny Dollar Tree has bagged coffee ( Harry & David) an you could stick in a Mug or even a package of cookie mix , they have rolls of clear wrap as well ❤

I have those books!! I love them. I made a steak rub to give to family for Christmas last year. I started making bookmarks out of old calendars and gift bags to give to friends. People have suggested I should sell them. I dunno. 🤷‍♀️ If you decide to make some things, let us know! I’d love to see what you come up with ☺️ Have a great weekend!

I’m glad you’re not eating that unhealthy food.

Cookies and brownies - easy for kids and yummy.

Homemade soap !

You always find the best deals. I love you Granny 💜💐🦋☺️

Hey ,Granny,, My mom in law, told me every year, I don't need nothing, so I came up with soups, chili, muffin mixes,and put in jars,she loved it and said it feed her through winter, all those expensive gifts, didn't seem like nothing in her eyes, I actually took the time to make her something,that was useful and always needed!!!!

❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊Granny and Gizmo Love 💘 ♥ ❤ 💖 💕 💗

Great idea!

Granny - so thrilled that you are putting your mixes out for sale. If you are someone like me, I’d love to buy it but I surely would need the cooking recipe to go with it!

I like to buy year round for deals when I find them.❤

How are you doing in the hurricane . I heard that North Carolina was in bad shape . Stay safe .

Make bath salt. Get essential oils for fragrance

I have made homemade hard candy. It basically takes sugar, Karo syrup, and flavoring. I like the Lorann flavorings. You can often find them at craft stores, such as Micheals and Joann's. You can just pour it into a metal square pan, break it into bite size pieces and shake it with a bit of powdered sugar and put in ziploc bags.

❤🍽👍😊❤

Granny, what about a hot chocolate mix with mini marshmallows? You could add a $1 mug to some and charge a little more. People these days would love to pick several up for grab bag gifts, etc. Instant gift! All they have to do is wrap it! Maybe you have a few mugs you don't use. Sounds like a lot of fun to be in the craft show. Something different.

I just saw this earlier and it looked interesting! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKC6fXapiKeNe7Msi=LuUU1AfpOlche-Rj

Hi Granny. Yum, all my favorite foods. My Christmas gifts every year is fudge, I start in November making a batch every couple of weeks and put it in the freezer til Christmas. I've never sold anything at a craft show.

Hi Granny! I am crocheting right now.

You rule Granny !!!!!!😁

Hello Granny! You are so great at figuring out where to get bargains. Much respect!

I love to get creative with leftovers.

Great idea!

❤ Thank you! 😊

Glad you are safe from the hurricane

Great gift! Praying for you during the storm! God bless you! 😀❤️🙏🏻
