The other day, I shared with you this muffin kit that I created. I’m a firm believer in giving fun, yet practical gifts. I know from experience that having custom-made mixes on hand is such an asset to any home cook. You get to have your cake and bake it with a lot less hassle, too.
I know I would love to receive some yumminess to enjoy after the holidays’ rush is over. So, a kit is perfect! While I was putting together this fun food gift, I created some gift cards to go with, complete with recipe and baking instructions. At that time, I made up a little e-booklet so that others could easily do gifts like this themselves.
Well, since then I’ve been told that I “buried” this download within the depths of my blog. A reader had to “dig” to get to it and hassled me strongly encouraged me to share it with you a little more obviously.
So, here it is! {waving muffin kit frantically in the air}
I’ve made the muffin kit download available for a $1 Download. This includes directions to preparing a muffin kit, the recipe for Mix-and-Match Muffins and 2 different gift enclosure cards that you can print for your own personal use — to your heart’s delight. I’ve done a lot of the work, so you don’t have to.
Stay tuned ’cause I’ll be sharing a multitude of frugal gift ideas over the next month. ‘Tis the season….

I love the muffin mix idea. I've done all sorts of 'practical' gifts for my next door neighbor family over the years. Dinner meals in a basket, movie/popcorn basket, etc. This year I am baking them up a loaf of banana bread on a cute $ Tree tray. Great for breakfast or a fast snack. With 3 grown kids still at home and a grandbaby … it won't last a day! Can't wait to see all of your ideas! I'm loving all the frugal gift ideas on blogs recently.

When you're making a muffin mix, do you just leave out the wet ingredients and tell the recipient to add those?
