Just because there's an ongoing pandemic doesn't mean we can't push through with Christmas festivities like giving gifts to the special people in our life. Shopping for gifts can now be done online and there are lots of options! You can even have it delivered straight to the recipient's address.
If you know anyone who has started their baking journey during quarantine or know someone who started a food business, here are some cute items any newbie baker will love finding under their Christmas tree this year:
