I use to make all the gifts until a person made a rude remark. That person is no longer in my life so I think I will start again. Gifts made specially for a person have more heart than a purchased gift. Bless you for reminding me of my values.
I'm giving homemade cookies to neighbors. For my in-law family members, I have finished some embroideries that were left behind by my mother-in-law when she passed on, and framed them for hanging. I think they will enjoy having some of her beautiful hand work to display. Merry Christmas to you, Paul, Dixie, and family!
Great ideas...finished Italian Christmas cookies, snickerdoodles, chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, English toffee and still need cream cheese mints. Will do them tomorrow. Plus I have homemade apple butter and jam to give 🤶🎄
I just realized this has my husband's Scott's name on it! But Hi! from me, Mary Kay! I made little loaves of quick breads this year as gifts. I presented several of my friends with small loaves of Sweet Bread, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and Zucchini Bread, along with a jar of homemade cherry jam. Thank for your encouragement each week. I look forward to every episode! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you both. And Dixie Belle too!
I love your decor! That sugar plum tree is lovely. Will you do a home tour of your Christmas decorations? I'm sure other would love to see it, too. I will definitely make these treats! Paul, I LOVE that Emmy is an over-scraper!! It kills me when people waste so much! Merry Christmas to you both and Dixie Belle!! You have brought me so much joy this year!! Thank you!
Hello from a granny in England. Your channel popped up a couple of months ago and I started following you. I do so enjoy watching you. I live a relatively simple life in a small market town that dates back to the 1200’s. My life is not necessarily frugal but I do so enjoy watching all the lovely ideas that you share. Sending you very best wishes for a peaceful and safe Christmas.
We made most of our gifts. My hubby makes peanut brittle (family and friends) My oldest sister passed away this year: I took some of her material and made myself and my 2 sisters aprons and I made shutterfly picture book for myself and my 2 sister. My hubby said after last Christmas that we should make each other gifts. I made him cowboy candy, a sack to go over a piece of his bow. I am trying to make toffee (the first batch is to soft so I will try again soon. )
Hi, Emmy, I truly love your channel. The saltine candies and chocolate peanut butter fudge were gifted to my sweet neighbors in our small condo complex. I’m so grateful to you and Paul for your lovely channel and photography.
Aorucit jam, strawberry, jam, last yesr my 3 afult chikdren received 1/2 gallon canning jars kabkedbIcedvtea& a lsrge box of tea, so they can make there own refrigerator " sun tea". i also have given taco seasoning mix. Lots& lots of cookies & brownies. Being busy young adults they don't always take time to bake for them selves. I have a book muffins in a jar and also brownies& bars in a jar. So much fun, I love creating phomemade mixes, time & money savers that are sooo yummy!
I gift mini “gifts of the magi” sweet breads, easy mini banana bread, eggnog bread, cut outs, gluten free cut outs, jello popcorn, caramel corn and this year I will make molasses crinkle cookies. This year I will include fudge and candied nuts. And I will make Texas Trash for my family and my girlfriend.
Love the cookie tray idea. Its so pretty. I make-up goodie boxes with homemade cookies, candies, donuts, candied nuts etc. for our neighbors, friends and family. Its such a frugal way to share a little love and kindness. I buy bakery boxes, labels and bakery tissue paper cheap off Amazon to use for the boxes. One order of those will last me for a few years. Dixie looks so cute all snuggled up and waiting for Santa! I know how super busy you must be this week and next but thank you for still taking the time to put videos up, we really appreciate it 😁
I'm giving out fudge, toffee, pretzel Rollo candies.home made hot chocolate & teas in mugs and family recipe for homemade caramel popcorn if it makes it past "sampling " hands! Merry Christmas everyone". Praying for everyone to find PEACE in the new year.
My specialty? Shopping my home for gifts :) I know that some would say that's not right but I always find the perfect stuff that we aren't using that is in new condition. :)
just a thought. I learnt this on a lunch channel. turn your cupcake liners inside out so that you can enjoy the design when displaying your treats. what a find on the lite christmas tree!
I’ve been crocheting dish cloths during my free time. I’m gifting them with a seasonal hand soap. We tend to finish baked goods before they can be given away 😆😂🙈
Your cookie trays look wonderful! I need on your list! ;) Our family started a new tradition a few years ago where we draw names (immediate family) and we make a gift for our "drawee". I help several others with their gifts. I'm finding that the "Mom" of the family often misses out on surprises as we're "in on" many of them. lol STILL a lot of fun. I drew my husband and I taught myself to play a song that he likes on the piano. (I don't play, and we were just given an organ by my Mom, so this has been a real effort. I'm going to sound like a kid at her first recital, but that's ok!) It's a bluegrass song called "Paradise" by John Prine. My older daughter drew the duo of my daughter in law and our 1yo granddaughter. I'm helping her make seasoning blends (taco, meatloaf, chili, etc.) for our DIL and for our Granddaughter/Niece we'll make super bubbles and a wand for blowing them, and homemade play dough. My Mom drew my older daughter's name. I'm helping her paint a rectangular bulletin board to look like a Nintendo Switch console, as my daughter is into gaming. My husband drew our youngest daughter's name, so I'll help him make a painted sign for her room (she's getting a bedroom makeover after New Year's day). Her bedroom will be mushroom themed so he's painting a plaque that has a stenciled mushroom on it (toadstool) and says "Paisley's 'Shroom" (get it...Paisley's Room). We always enjoy our homemade gifts. We've had food gifts, picture books, recipe and herbal remedy books, prayer boxes, coat rack, smelly good products, etc. So much fun to see who got your name and what they thought up for you! Merry Christmas and God bless you in the new year!
Looks so yummy! I made your thumbprint cookies this week and everyone at the dentist's office loved them! Please share your simple fruitcake cookie recipe. My grandmother made one that was really delicious but super complex. Please share yours! Thanks!
Thank you for being a SCRAPER! It drives me crazy to see so much waste! Beautiful video, love the recipes and I will be making a few of them. Merry Christmas to you all! God bless ❤❄🎄🎅🐶
Emmy & Paul! You warm my heart! ❤ Not to mention that sweet baby under her baby blanket! 🤗 I usually make marinated mushrooms and put them in jars to give as gifts. I confess, not this year though. Time got away from me! I saw my card on your card tree... What a special video! Wishing you a blessed holiday season. 🎄 Much love! ~ Chris
One of my viewers made that for her for Christmas! The little Diva! Wishing you a blessed Christmas as well dear friend! Much love back to you and the babies!!
Love your decorations! The fudge looks super yummy, I'll be trying that recipe this weekend for sure. I make a homemade hot chocolate mix to give out for gifts....folks look forward to it each year. I think it's almost as cozy as sweet Dixie Belle under her blanket💜
Your treat plate looked delicious. Recipes looked easy to make. I’m so glad I got my shopping done early so this week is stay home and relax. Unfortunately or city (Kingston Ontario) has been taken over by the Covid virus. We have the most cases in the country.
Those cookies look so delicious. Where will I find the recipe's for the fruit cake cookies and the ones with the jam on top and the things with the coconut on top too. Yum
All recipes have the original links or videos in the description box of my video. That is the box where I describe what the video is about. Just scroll down and they are all there!
when my son was little, i used to get ritz crackers and spread peanut butter on one and then put another cracker on top. melt chocolate and either dip the whole cracker sandwich? never know what to call it.. or dip half the cracker sandwich. i also used to put equal parts peanut butter and marshmellow cream and stir it together.. doesn't have to be mixed all the way. spread that between two graham crackers or roll them up into a ball. my son loved to eat it just like that. or if i rolled it up in a ball.. i would roll it in graham cracker crumbs and or peanuts or melted chocolate or chocolate chips. its very versital. it was nice to have when i didn't have a lot of money.
Hi, Emmy. Merry Christmas to you, Paul and your family! I made the saltine toffee and peanut butter fudge and they were both so easy and so yummy! Thank you for these great recipes. I couldnt believe how delicious the saltine toffee was!
Your Christmas decor is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your frugal treat ideas! Love the toffee! That is a favorite of mine to make cause it's so easy and taste expensive! I'm going to make peanut clusters, red hot cinnamon popcorn, cherry mash candy and fruit cake to give to family and friends! Merry Christmas to you both!
There is an old saying that goes, "What a man brings in with a shovel, a woman can throw away with a spoon." (In other words...being frugal in the kitchen saves money!) 😊 I'm also a Super Scraper! It's amazing how much waste it reduces.
Those treats look amazing! I am definitely going to make them! I am making a big tray to bring to work. I will add these recipes to it also. My 4 year old granddaughter comes over and we make cookies together for the holiday. Usually sugar cookies and m&m cookies, but those masterpieces get sent home to mommy and daddy. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄
The pecans and the saltines look yummy. I baked several cookies and bagged them up to give to family. They like them a lot. I'm also a big scraper and add water to some cans to get the rest out if appropriate for the recipe
Great video for great last minute homemade gifts from the heart. Yes, true frugal bakers/cooks scrape every bit…..no wasting any yummy goodness. Ha ha Seeing your Pyrex snowflake ❄️ reminded me to take out my garage sale black snowflake Pyrex out to display. Thanks. I was thinking about trying your cracker toffee but then I was gifted yesterday with a big pkg of sweets in the mail. My old coworker makes the BEST Toffee…never sticks to your teeth and the chocolate never falls off!! Love that sharing plate. Have an awesome rest of the week before Christmas 🎄. All our presents are wrapped….Food shopping done….Most gifts that need to be delivered have been…. May even do a bit of more baking, just “because”….. My homemade gifts this year were ornaments that I woodcarved and sealed. I carved a lot of Comfort Birds and Hearts and distributed to people that were medically or emotionally in need of comfort too. I’ll start carving again soon so I have some on hand to give out… Sorry 😞 I jumped the gun about 18k subscribers. I did look today and saw it was 17.3…weird. Have an awesome week and as always see you soon on the TH-cam. Will you take a “ vacation “ day or two off????
Thank you for sharing these recipes! I am not a baker but I am going to spend some time with my daughter and start a new tradition of making these three treats! They look so easy to make and our family will be so surprised! You and Paul are such a blessing to me. I look forward to each and every one of your videos and always end up smiling. I am in love with Dixie too! 💕
Hi Emmy and Paul. 🎄🎄🎄 Beautiful presentation with the cookie tray. Anyone who receives a tray, will feel very blessed. I may try that fudge - so easy and relatively "healthy". Your home looks so lovely and festive. Dixiebelle is so cute. Enjoy the days of the next week. Many blessings! Jesus is the Reason for the Season 🙏
All of those looked so good. I really like easy but yummy recipes. I thought i was the only one that got comments like that. Mine says if i scrape anymore there will be more metal shavings then food. 🤣🥰
Yum! What a lovely plate of goodies anyone would be thrilled to receive! Today, I made fudge and banana bread for my dear BFF, who’s is allergic to tree nuts. Tomorrow, I’ll make Christmas Crack (same recipe as saltine chocolate toffee). I enjoy cooking and baking, but I’d be 300 pounds if I ate it all 🤫. Look at you-up 700 subs in a week!
My gift baskets and give away cookie trays this year contain Martha Washington candy, shortbread, linzer cookies, and peanut butter marshmallow squares. Also jars of marmalade, pickles and salsa I canned in the summer. I have made the cracker toffee before and it's amazing. I would like to try doing some pecans. Just took my pieces out of the oven to start our traditional gingerbread house. Have a bit of snow storm going on up here in Ontario, great day to bake! Thanks for another wonderful video!
Oh we do need to see you scraped the tins pans bowls until they are totally clean !! I know who the person was it was me lol xx love your videos! Yes I have made a tree from driftwood sticks, a salt dough star and some small shells, from a holiday in Cornwall 4yrs ago , and some peanut butter fudge for my grandson( tastes like re__$€$ cups)!
You sound like you have a cold. Hope you are feeling ok. Thank you for great recipes. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Jesus is the reason for the season.
What wonderful recipe ideas! I am doing some cookie boxes and some homemade peanut butter cups this year for some friends/family. I tried to keep my gifts for my immediate family to be practical items that people could use which I got locally. My friend gifts are the cookie boxes and candy. I was under budget too! I finished my shopping and wrapping of the immediate family gifts by Thanksgiving. I definitely like to do experience gifts but due to COVID and not being super safe to do some stuff in person I tried to do gifts that I knew my family would use and would not go to waste. Hoping next year things are better so I can go back to doing more experience type gifts like taking my nephews to the movies or bringing my nieces to the Aquarium, or taking my mom to afternoon tea…that sort of stuff.
Great simple recipes. Thank you for sharing. I knit dish cloths and crochet pot scrubbers for gifts. My daughters ask for them in their favourite colours.
I am for sure going to be making these recipes. Especially the candied pecans! Our daughter married and moved to Kansas. We were there all last week and I really missed you two. I came home, made a cup of coffee and sat down a d caught up. Thank you for all the preparation and work you do to have videos for all of us. Merry Christmas and God Bless
I have collected a host of chains and charms and am taking them to our family gathering. Everyone can make their own individual pendant or necklace. I have choices for all including letters for names or inspiration, lots of sport choices for the boys , pretty enamels for girls as well. It should be a hoot. Love your homemade sweets, I will use them next year. Thank you both for a wonderful 2021. Wishing you all the best for the Christmas season and a glorious New Year. Cheers from a sunny warm patio with accompanying birdsong, there is nothing so lovely as having magpies carroling. 🦘😁
Getting ready to do a Polish Kolachky . Recipe from my great-grandmother . From start to finish , this was one of your best videos. Thank You Paul & Emmy for sharing your home & ideas with us. Many blessings to you both , also . P.S. Your blouse is quite lovely.
Great episode! I especially appreciate the recipe for the candied pecans. I've been researching them online and many of them seem extremely complicated. I'm going to try this one. I wish you and your entire family peace during this holy season.
Yummy! Great ideas. If a little old lady comes knocking at your door pretending to be your neighbor it might be me. I love candied pecans. Christopher Heideman had a You Tube video of simple snacks that looked good to.
I loved these!! Thank you Emmy and Paul for always coming up with such great content. I don’t know how you manage to always come up with such fresh ideas. I look so forward to your videos! I am going to make all! I really think your giving plate looked amazing😍
I’m watching some of your old videos from Christmas. I made the fudge yesterday. Super easy and it tastes wonderful. However, my two layers didn’t stick together well. After cooking and cutting, the peanut butter wanted to separate from the chocolate so I had to kind of smoosh it. What did I do wrong? Still looks pretty and tastes decadent. I had a bunch of pecans but instead of making candied pecans, I made muddy buddy pecans. Those, the fudge and some thin mint cookies plated together very prettily. I’ll be taking them to my son’s house tomorrow. Merry Christmas, Emmy and Paul!
I got a new coffee cup.it says
I'm on the naughty list and I regret nothing.
It was $2.21 at dollar general.
LOL! That's too cute!
Awe, Dixie snuggling under a blanket….how sweet 💕
I use to make all the gifts until a person made a rude remark.
That person is no longer in my life so I think I will start again. Gifts made specially for a person have more heart than a purchased gift.
Bless you for reminding me of my values.
Oh I am so sorry someone was unkind!
I'm giving homemade cookies to neighbors. For my in-law family members, I have finished some embroideries that were left behind by my mother-in-law when she passed on, and framed them for hanging. I think they will enjoy having some of her beautiful hand work to display. Merry Christmas to you, Paul, Dixie, and family!
Kathryn what an amazing idea! LOVE THAT!
Great ideas...finished Italian Christmas cookies, snickerdoodles, chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, English toffee and still need cream cheese mints. Will do them tomorrow. Plus I have homemade apple butter and jam to give 🤶🎄
Oh goodness! It all sounds wonderful!
I made prayer shawls, scarves & hats as gifts. I love giving & receiving handmade gifts 🎁
Me too! That sounds wonderful!
I just realized this has my husband's Scott's name on it! But Hi! from me, Mary Kay! I made little loaves of quick breads this year as gifts. I presented several of my friends with small loaves of Sweet Bread, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and Zucchini Bread, along with a jar of homemade cherry jam. Thank for your encouragement each week.

You are so welcome! do you see the video where we showed our tree and living area decorations?
How lovely to put so much effort and love into a gift. Who wouldn it love that? 💕💗💕
I love baking every year for family and neighbors, gives me joy just to bake for others 🎄
Me too Terri!

So happy to have you here Jennifer! Thanks for being a part of our channel!
For anyone who doubts that the saltine/chocolate/crackers are delicious -- you need to make them. They really ARE awesome!
Aren't they amazing Katie!
I crochet and macrame gifts through the year and give them as gifts for birthdays, baby showers and Christmas.
Julie I bet they are absolutely beautiful!
We made most of our gifts.
My hubby makes peanut brittle (family and friends)
My oldest sister passed away this year: I took some of her material and made myself and my 2 sisters aprons and I made shutterfly picture book for myself and my 2 sister.
My hubby said after last Christmas that we should make each other gifts. I made him cowboy candy, a sack to go over a piece of his bow. I am trying to make toffee (the first batch is to soft so I will try again soon. )
Oh I am so very sorry for your loss...the gifts you made are so precious!
Hi, Emmy, I truly love your channel. The saltine candies and chocolate peanut butter fudge were gifted to my sweet neighbors in our small condo complex. I’m so grateful to you and Paul for your lovely channel and photography.

Started giving homemade vanilla extract this year. Delicious and unique!
Sounds great Brenda!
How did you do it?
just a thought. I learnt this on a lunch channel. turn your cupcake liners inside out so that you can enjoy the design when displaying your treats. what a find on the lite christmas tree!
So smart! Thanks!
Love you guys Love your videos thanks 💘 😊 god bless you and your family 😊 👪 🙏 😀 ❤ God bless everyone 💘 😊 👪 🙏 😀 ❤ 💘

The Christmas card holder so creative. No homemade treats this year.
Thanks Lynette!

Everything looked so yummy
Hi Emmy and Paul. 🎄🎄🎄 Beautiful presentation with the cookie tray. Anyone who receives a tray, will feel very blessed. I may try that fudge - so easy and relatively "healthy". Your home looks so lovely and festive. Dixiebelle is so cute. Enjoy the days of the next week. Many blessings! Jesus is the Reason for the Season 🙏
Yes HE is Karen! Thanks so much!
Easy wonderful recipes ! Thanks
Loved everything in your video! Dixie just melts my heart!❤❤❤
Thanks so much Julie!
Thank you for sharing these awesome and easy recipes . May you have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed frugal New Year.
Thanks Vicki! You as well!
All of those looked so good. I really like easy but yummy recipes. I thought i was the only one that got comments like that. Mine says if i scrape anymore there will be more metal shavings then food. 🤣🥰
LOL!! Love that!
Wonderful! Thank you very much! 🎄
You are so welcome Mayra!
You guys are my favourite
Make me feel less alone in wanting to be more frugal 🤩
YAY!! Thank you! So happy you are here!!
Great video. Those recipes look so yummy.
Thanks so much! 😊
Yum! What a lovely plate of goodies anyone would be thrilled to receive! Today, I made fudge and banana bread for my dear BFF, who’s is allergic to tree nuts. Tomorrow, I’ll make Christmas Crack (same recipe as saltine chocolate toffee). I enjoy cooking and baking, but I’d be 300 pounds if I ate it all 🤫. Look at you-up 700 subs in a week!
Sounds wonderful Jeannne! Thank you!
My gift baskets and give away cookie trays this year contain Martha Washington candy, shortbread, linzer cookies, and peanut butter marshmallow squares. Also jars of marmalade, pickles and salsa I canned in the summer. I have made the cracker toffee before and it's amazing. I would like to try doing some pecans. Just took my pieces out of the oven to start our traditional gingerbread house. Have a bit of snow storm going on up here in Ontario, great day to bake! Thanks for another wonderful video!

You sound like you have a cold. Hope you are feeling ok. Thank you for great recipes. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Jesus is the reason for the season.
Yes He is! Thank you!
What wonderful recipe ideas! I am doing some cookie boxes and some homemade peanut butter cups this year for some friends/family. I tried to keep my gifts for my immediate family to be practical items that people could use which I got locally. My friend gifts are the cookie boxes and candy. I was under budget too! I finished my shopping and wrapping of the immediate family gifts by Thanksgiving. I definitely like to do experience gifts but due to COVID and not being super safe to do some stuff in person I tried to do gifts that I knew my family would use and would not go to waste. Hoping next year things are better so I can go back to doing more experience type gifts like taking my nephews to the movies or bringing my nieces to the Aquarium, or taking my mom to afternoon tea…that sort of stuff.
Yes, I totally understand Gretchen...times are so different lately.
Great simple recipes. Thank you for sharing. I knit dish cloths and crochet pot scrubbers for gifts. My daughters ask for them in their favourite colours.
Oh they sound lovely! How creative!
I am for sure going to be making these recipes. Especially the candied pecans! Our daughter married and moved to Kansas. We were there all last week and I really missed you two. I came home, made a cup of coffee and sat down a d caught up. Thank you for all the preparation and work you do to have videos for all of us. Merry Christmas and God Bless
Hope you had a wonderful visit Kelly! Thank you so much for being a part of our lives!
I have collected a host of chains and charms and am taking them to our family gathering. Everyone can make their own individual pendant or necklace. I have choices for all including letters for names or inspiration, lots of sport choices for the boys , pretty enamels for girls as well. It should be a hoot. Love your homemade sweets, I will use them next year. Thank you both for a wonderful 2021. Wishing you all the best for the Christmas season and a glorious New Year. Cheers from a sunny warm patio with accompanying birdsong, there is nothing so lovely as having magpies carroling. 🦘😁
I keep forgetting it's summer there! Enjoy!! Thanks for being such a positive part of our channel!
Made the Toffee again for the neighbors always a big hit ! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Thank you Pamela! You as well!
Getting ready to do a Polish Kolachky . Recipe from my great-grandmother . From start to finish , this was one of your best videos. Thank You Paul & Emmy for sharing your home & ideas with us. Many blessings to you both , also . P.S. Your blouse is quite lovely.
Oh thank you so very much Kim!
Great episode! I especially appreciate the recipe for the candied pecans. I've been researching them online and many of them seem extremely complicated. I'm going to try this one. I wish you and your entire family peace during this holy season.
We wish you peace as well! Thank you!
Yummy! Great ideas. If a little old lady comes knocking at your door pretending to be your neighbor it might be me. I love candied pecans. Christopher Heideman had a You Tube video of simple snacks that looked good to.
Dora I love that!!! Thank you!
I loved these!! Thank you Emmy and Paul for always coming up with such great content. I don’t know how you manage to always come up with such fresh ideas. I look so forward to your videos! I am going to make all! I really think your giving plate looked amazing😍

Great video!!
Thanks so much Teresa!
Merry Christmas...... subscribed
YAY! Welcome Melinda! Thank you!
Making Christmas treats today.
Enjoy Rhonda!
I’m watching some of your old videos from Christmas. I made the fudge yesterday. Super easy and it tastes wonderful. However, my two layers didn’t stick together well. After cooking and cutting, the peanut butter wanted to separate from the chocolate so I had to kind of smoosh it. What did I do wrong? Still looks pretty and tastes decadent.
I had a bunch of pecans but instead of making candied pecans, I made muddy buddy pecans. Those, the fudge and some thin mint cookies plated together very prettily. I’ll be taking them to my son’s house tomorrow.
Merry Christmas, Emmy and Paul!
Not sure what happened... Glad they still tasted good though!
@@FrugalMoneySaver Thanks! The 6 year old and his father raved that it tasted better than Reese’s cups. Winner!
Binge watching today . Are all utube videos from your start still available ?
Absolutely! They are a little primitive in the beginning but still fun!
I enjoyed this video so much I watched it twice. Now to go make these yummy looking treats.
Thanks for being here Judy!
