Homemade gift options
UPDATE: The Associated Press had an article on this very topic that ran in today’s Durango Herald. Here’s the link.
I think one positive effect of the Great Recession is it has moved us away from a strictly consumerist model of giving. Gifts, it seems, are becoming more modest but more heartfelt. I know that I’m late in the game, but I haven’t given up on the idea of giving homemade gifts, most likely something edible, for Christmas. I’d love suggestions from you, dear readers. What have you given and people loved? Or thoughts on giving in general is these hard economic times?

Rachel Turiel says:Katie, we are giving “Durango Sampler Packages” this year with homemade salves, fruit we picked and dried, elk jerky, jams we canned and then some local purchased goodies like Silverton Chocolates.
For Dan the kids made an awesome book called “What I love about dad” they drew the pictures and dictated the words to me. It is better than anything we could ever buy.
