25 Homemade Christmas Gift Ideas (Using Your Slow Cooker)

Who doesn't love fudge? It's the quintessential Christmas classic to share and enjoy with family and friends. Rich chocolate blended with a variety of flavors (and even sea salt) can be one of the tastiest ways to show you care. 

A famous TV character once said, "Candy's dandy, no?" While it was a mere passing comment in the show, there's some truth to it. Candy gives us that rush, that surge of emotion, that makes us feel all sorts of wonderful things. It truly is dandy, and at Christmas, a bite of sweet, homemade candy is pure magic. 

Give the gift of magic this year. 

There's something about candied, roasted nuts during the holidays that's just perfect. It reminds us of trips downtown to Christkindlmart, with smells of sugar and spice permeating the air at Christmastime. 

Keep an old world tradition going when you gift your own slow cooker holiday nuts to family and friends. 

If you've ever had a loved one give you the gift of homemade jam at Christmas, it's a wholly unique experience. Jam is versatile in that it can be served with dessert, blended into a sauce with dinner, or eaten at breakfast. And when your loved ones enjoy homemade jam that you made, they'll be reminded that you took the time and the care to make them something so thoughtful at Christmas. 

If your family members and friends have their own slow cooker, these DIY drink mixes are fantastic! Making these mixes at home is cheaper than buying the store-made gift packages, and it allows you to personalize it in a way no store ever could! 

Many people don't realize, you can make a lot more than just food in the slow cooker. These unique Christmas gift ideas prove that you can use your slow cooker to create all kinds of wonderful Christmas magic.
