Every December I make a batch of simmering potpourri for neighbors, and it's the one DIY gift that never fails: orange peel, cinnamon sticks, a few cloves, done in ten minutes. Last year I added a tiny crocheted fox to each jar tag, and check it here if you want a starter set for the stitching. The kitchen smells amazing too.
