I think it's a lovely idea and shows how much thought and planning has gone into your gift to them.
I make lots of pickles, relishes and chutneys from stuff we grow on our allotment and make up hampers for family and friends. These are always well received. Go for it.

No it is not miserly at all. The presents will be made with love and will be very special.

Go for it. It's not at all miserly, on the contrary it is giving far more of your time and thought than those who just pick something in a shop or internet site or, horrors, buy a gift voucher.

After a bit of a rocky year in terms of finances, I'm thinking of making my family's christmas presents this year. I'm a keen crafter and think I can make a good job of things that they'll really like. When i mentioned this to a friend yesterday, she looked at me like I'd said I was getting them a lump of coal each!

Is it miserly to make their xmas presents? I had thought it was more personal, but now I have my doubts confused
