One year, I went all out and cooked, baked, etc. Sending things off in fancy little tins with ribbon and fluff... and when the Ex took everything to the post office to mail them off -- he "stopped off & bought presents to add to the gifts since home-baked things aren't 'real gifts.'"

That was kinda the one & only time I sent off home baked presents.

These SoCo balls are made -- and live in my fridge. For my enjoyment only. LOL! But its OK since I LOVE them!
