Oh, Martha. We were looking for gift bag ideas for our 2007 Un-Gift Guide and really, Martha Stewart has a corner on pretty pictures of holiday wrapping and homemade gift ideas. Here’s one of our favorites – gift bags of coffee, spiced with a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla pod seeds. You can also find smaller, miniature-sized bags like these at craft stores and Target – they are fun to fill with wrapped candies. Seal with a ribbon.

Mulling Spices: Fill a little cheesecloth bag with spices for mulling cider. Give with a bag of fresh oranges for a gift that can be appreciated all winter long.
