Would that make you cheap or very thoughtful?

Have you given/received a homemade present…. How did that work out?

Valid answer
Did you actually enjoy the company one more than another?

I thought so.
I actually enjoy having a house full of b3tans. Hasn't happened for a few months though.

So your views on home made Christmas presents?
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 6 Dec 2012, 18:10, Reply)

I dunno, I've never given or received one so can't really comment.
I suppose "tight arsed pikey" comes to mind.

Actually, on thinking about it I've been commissioned to do loads of drawings for other people to give to relatives, does that count?
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 6 Dec 2012, 18:11, Reply)

Yep that counts
Drawings of them by any chance?
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 6 Dec 2012, 18:16, Reply)

Cats, dogs, pug-ugly children...
The oddest commission one was probably a drawing of a truck someone's Dad used to drive.

If you have the talent why not cash in on it?

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 6 Dec 2012, 18:19, Reply)

I've been thinking about getting back into it.
The last commission I took was about ten years ago. It's getting the time to do it that's the problem, but back in the 90's I'd have a couple of commissions a month to do, sometimes more.

I often do home made presents
this year many people will have homemade chutney and jam I made with apples from my trees. In the past I have given crocheted things, photographed things and sewed things. I don't know if people appreciate them, but they at least have to pretend.

oops
it was that christmas song about santa claus that Bob Dylan did. It was stupid.

I can kind of cook but not well, and the only reason I've got better lately is that I've given up free will (with regards to food) to tesco who tell me how to cook things these days

Hot, vinegary action
I mostly just trawl the internet for recipes when the apple deluge gets too much. I've made Apple and Ginger and Apple and Cinnamon jam, Spiced Apple and Apple and Raisin Chutney. I capitalised them all here to make them seem more important

My spicy pickled onions started as a joke
One of them family do's where you bring something for the buffet. Each year I’ve been making them hotter and hotter, this year’s has Dorset Naga chillies, the jokes backfired on me because now I have to make at least 12-30 jars each Christmas.

No way.
I just buy a massive bag of silverskin onions. The look on the faces this year will be priceless; anyone who eats them for the first time normally has a Picture taken and gets e-mailed to me.
I hope I don’t get sued.
