Why make a gift rather than buy it? Creating an edible gift is more interesting than running to a store to purchase a bottle of wine. Most of the time it is cheaper than buying from a store and it means a lot more. The other advantage is that you have total control over the ingredients enabling you to make a seasonal, mindful choice of what the gift is all about.
