    HFG tip

    The trick to good presents is good presentation.

    • Pack your edible present in a gift box lined with wax paper. If packing more than one layer, separate the layers with a sheet of wax paper.
    • Wrap the box in tin foil, scraps of fabric, or white paper with your own drawings.
    • Be creative with your decorating. Try ribbon bows, beads, seashells, real pine needles or tinsel.
