I made all three of your ideas and then saw the comment about lemon sugar so am trying that out as well. Everything has turned out perfectly and I love that there were labels that I could print! My family/friends are going to be excited about this year's homemade gifts! I'll link to your post from my blog once I've given the gifts!

Another thing she makes it in is antique liqour bottles that are from the old crystal sets. Also she makes lemon sugar by mixing sugar and lemon zest in a jar, very pretty and fragrant gifts!

It started out as a teacher gift for my kiddo, but when I bought far too many vanilla beans, I begged Laura and Adrienne to get in on the action, too. It ended up being a fabulous day -- getting together with these fabulous women, listening to Christmas music, and turning the kitchen into Santa's Workshop. And when it was over, we each had a bag of beautiful, finished gifts. I highly recommend the experience -- with vanilla or ANYthing else! This was such a fun project!

I just heard on the news this morning that we should expect a vanilla shortage because 80% of the crops in Madagascar are being killed by a fungus (seriously I did hear this just this morning) so this news makes this even a better gift!
