A baker's dozen. Last minute food gifts to give for the holidays!

Who doesn’t love giving (and receiving!) food gifts? They are fun, practical, and really just a simple way to tell someone you thought of them.  I’ve looked around the web and found some great ideas.

Here are 13 different last minute food gifts that you can make for friends and neighbors. Food gifts are truly my favorite kind of gifts to both give and receive.
