Bake: find a cheap, easy to make Christmas cake and divide the mixture into miniature loaf tin sizes, thiswill give you more out of one, ice and personalize as individual gifts.
Get creative: buy a plain pillow case and some cheap textile paint to personalize for each child. Make a Christmas tree Stencil, buy a tin of spray paint and use it to stencil old Newspaper, when dry use
as wrapping paper.
