While not very many people do that anymore, there are still some wonderful edible gifts you can give to others that make beautiful decorations. Whether it is for the Christmas season or another time of year, consider giving your edible gift early enough so that the recipient can enjoy it and display it for others to enjoy as well.
One of the easiest edible gifts to make that doubles as a decorative accent is a wreath. While these are popular during the Christmas holiday season, wreaths can be displayed anytime. For example, tying individually wrapped hard candies onto a wire wreath would make a beautiful Valentine’s Day gift that could be displayed for weeks leading up to the holiday. You can use peppermints, jolly ranchers, or any kind of hard candies that are individually wrapped.
