First, let’s talk about some ideas for homemade Christmas Gifts recipes that you should begin making right now. These recipes take a little time to process, and now is the time to begin.

Easy, Delicious Homemade Kahlua

This homemade gift idea needs to sit for 3 weeks; therefore, you want to begin making your homemade Kahlua asap.

This is a favorite hostess gift because it’s cost-effective and much better than purchased Kahlua.

Homemade Kahlua is great over ice cream, and this Blue Bunny and Kahlua recipe is so easy and wonderful.

Another great cocktail is Butterfinger Martini Recipe.
