Do you ever recieve homemade gifts from your family, relatives or friends?

I'm trying to get myself out of the house more and one thing I do love is baking a batch of homemade cookies. Would you like if someone you knew stopped by your house every so often with a batch of cookkies and chatted with you?

Yes I would as long as they called ahead to make sure I was home and ready to recieve visitors : )

And home made stuff is always good and appreciated here : )

I would be thrilled to have someone do that!

Everyone I know expects ME to bring THEM cookies!!

But my best friend will sometimes bring me fresh stuff from her in-laws' garden, and I appreciate it so much.

yes infact I make up a batch of cookie mix about once a month for one friend or another..bake up a dozen and take the rest to them to bake up later.

We have coffee, visit, and they have fresh to bake cookies when other friends drop by...

I keep them in my refergerator for when someone drops by and they all bring me such good garden stuff when they come too.

We do it around here all the time. Most mornings I have a neighbor over for coffee, sometimes I go there. I have one that stops by on his morning walk, and others that come here or vice versa just to chat.We live in a small, close knit area.

I'd love that! My daughter often brings something yummy over when she visits! I have a dear friend who would bring something over and I'd put on a pot of tea and we would talk for hours. I make the snack cake she brought over alot! I just love it and doesn't
call for eggs. I think maybe I'll try this one myself and get out and visit those people I never seem to get around to seeing. Once month sounds like a great place to start!

I have one neighbor who does this...as far as family, mine are all out of town and dh's would put poison in the cookies

**boogiemum** · 09-25-2007, 09:40 AM

I would love that! I guess I would prefer if they called and asked if it was a good time to stop by, though.
