Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in a Jar {Gluten-free, Paleo + Vegan}
With the holiday just a week away, I am sure, if you are like me, you still have a handful of last minute gifts to take care of. I always promise myself I won’t leave anything until till the last minute, and yet here I am, one week out with a few final gifts left to get. Thankfully, I have always loved the idea of handmade gifts, the personal touch and the thoughtfulness and these gifts can be made right up until the last moments before the actual holiday. Enter my Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in a Jar!! Because cookies are always a great idea, especially when someone else does half the work for you. If you get lucky, whoever you gift this mix to, they’ll have you over for dessert, when they bake them.

Homemade Chai Concentrate – Gluten-free (Vegan + Sugar-free Options)
This month for my ongoing monthly series with the Free People blog BLDG25, our theme is giftable recipes. Tasty gifts you can make and give to your loved ones, a holiday party hostess, co-workers, neighbors, etc. What better way to say “Happy Holidays” than with delicious treats, right?
This first recipe is a classic Tasty Yummies recipe, that many of you have likely seen on here before, but it had to be shared again, as it is one of my most popular and it makes a wonderful gift. I myself have made and gifted it to quite a few chai lovers and it was very well received each time.
The great thing about this chai concentrate as a gift, is you can either make the finished concentrate and give it in a cute vintage bottle or jar with some cute twine or ribbon and a hand made tag, or if you are worried about giving a refrigerated item, you can out together a cute cheesecloth pouch full of the spices with the tea bags and wrap it all up with twine and print the instructions for the recipient to make their own batch when they are ready.
Head over to the Free People blog to see the full recipe and check back each week through the month of December for other giftable recipes.
