With the holidays right around the corner, consumers are finding simple ways to share holiday cheer for less this year. From handmade gift baskets to home-baked holiday goodies, consumers are finding that savings start at home.
"A heartfelt, handmade gift will be more appreciated than ever." says Nicole Aloni, cookbook author and entertaining expert. "Time-tested, cherished treats such as cookies and candies are simple to make -- and even simpler to fill a homemade basket."
This holiday season, friends and family are making it a priority to spend more time with loved ones. That means more time spent around the dinner table and more in-home holiday parties. Naturally, with a large focus on quality time at home, more consumers will be doing the holiday cooking and baking themselves. Nicole adds that providing festive food yourself doesn't have to break the bank or add a large amount of time to an already-full holiday schedule.
Nicole recommends these three steps for successful holiday baking at home:
1. Make your list and check it twice.
By preparing your list ahead of time, you are more easily able to spot common ingredients and buy in bulk which also reduces waste or leftover items.
2. Enlist the aid of a few friends.
Whether you are preparing treats for loved ones or your annual office party, cooking with friends can help save time, and money. Plan a mutually convenient time for everyone to bake together, then expedite the
preparation process by assigning a "station" to each friend, i.e., mixing, rolling, cutting, etc.
3. Think beyond dessert.
Home baked goods can be more than just the perfect finishing touch to your holiday dinner they make great, low-cost gifts as well. Pair your favorite treats with packets of hot cider, sticks of cinnamon with a holiday music DVD, and viola you have a gift that they are sure to remember.
