So my hubby are a little tight on money as we are trying to save all the money we can for our little one on the way. However, that won't make me skip Christmas, we just have to be a little creative. I have decided that for our families we are going to make fun and yummy filled Christmas baskets. So I need as many creative and yummy ideas that you have! I've already thought of fudge, hot chocolate, ginger bread men, etc But what else would make this basket perfect for our moms and dads? Thank you!!
