Yeah, you heard me right, friend: a homemade gift people will actually want in less than 20 minutes.

Let's get gifting!

8 Easy Last-Minute Homemade Gifts

  1. Bourbon Salt -- So easy and yet so amazing as the finish on grilled meat, roasted vegetables, cookies, chocolate desserts and more.

  2. Homemade Nutella -- I bet you can name 10 people who would love to get this as a gift. OK, make that 100.

  3. Maple Candied Pecans -- Less than 10 minutes and you'll be the hero of the holiday.

  4. Sweet and Spicy Snack Mix -- There's a reason why I call this Snack Crack: you can't stop shoving fistfuls of it in your mouth!

  5. Bourbon Maple Bacon Jam -- The slow cooker does all the work, but you'll get all the credit. Dude: There's bourbon, maple syrup AND BACON in here!

  6. Peppermint Sugar Scrub -- You can't eat it but be sure to make a double batch, as you'll want to keep some for yourself. A great pampering gift!

  7. Homemade Granola -- Package it up in a pretty container or Mason jar.

  8. Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark -- Can't go wrong with chocolate that just a little bit salty too, am I right?

Happy Holidays from The Ninj!
