Has anyone ever asked you for recipe, but you never had time to write them down? Well here's your chance.

Find some of your recipes that people love and/or mix in a few that you like

Write them down on 3 X 5 index cards

Find a colorful 3 X 5 index card holder or decorate one Label it "_________'s Homemade Recipes" (or whatever like) .

Put a bow on it and BAM! You created a great gift which cost less than $2-10 to make!

Be creative as you want Use 8 1/2 X 11 colored paper for a recipe book or create a recipe blog that can be only read by the person who will be receiving the recipes.

No matter how you put the recipes together, it is a heartfelt way to wish someone a happy holiday without spending a lot of money.
