This afternoon we're feeling nice and festive in the One Fab Day office and while most of us are still popping to the shops for those last minute gifts, for me this time of year is all about the Christmas treats! From festive cookies to homemade mince pies, I found lots of simple Festive Food Ideas to make at home. With everyone sticking to a budget at this time of year (or trying to at least) homemade gifts are a great way to spread Christmas cheer, without breaking the bank! And who wouldn't love some homemade cookies?

All the recipes I found are simple and easy to make with touches of DIY decor, that with a little patience, we can all attempt! While taste is the main ingredient in this homemade present, presentation is key and is the icing on the cake (pun intended!) for the perfect Christmas gift, so be sure to check out our Christmas Wrapping post from last week and for those of you still in Christmas decoration mode check out our Simple and Inexpensive Winter Decor Ideas.
