With the festive season fast approaching and homemade gifts becoming increasingly popular, the Green Kitchen team has put together a selection of recipes with delightful festive twists. These recipes make ideal gifts, either individually or combined to create a charming hamper filled with homemade goodies!

We all have someone in mind, be it family or friends, who can be a little tricky to buy for during the Christmas season. Perhaps you're contemplating what to gift your neighbours or service providers during this festive time.

In the spirit of the Bake-Off season, I've compiled a list of Green's recipes with a hint of Christmas. They're perfect for a thoughtful token gift or gather them all to create a delightful hamper filled with homemade delights.

You can easily purchase DIY hamper gift wrap sets from most high street shops or supermarkets during the festive season. Alternatively, find a suitable-sized box (perhaps an Amazon delivery box) and cut it in half. Wrap it in decorative gift wrap or brown paper, fill it with shredded paper or tissue paper, and voila! You have your very own DIY hamper.
