‘Tis the season to show the love, and we all know the best way to do that is with chocolate. Or caramel. Okay fine, a combo of both really does the trick for me. Perhaps you show love with homemade cocoa mix, infused liqueurs, all of the cookies, or flavored salts. Whichever way your culinary love bone bends, you’ll find a recipe to please in this round-up of Easy and Elegant Edible Christmas Gifts.

Attention: If you need me in the next few weeks, you’ll find me in the kitchen watching Love Actually for the eleventy billionth time while I cook infinite batches of salted caramels, more cookies that I’d ever publicly admit, and enough homemade peanut butter cups to keep my brothers in my good graces all year long. I’m gonna need stock in sugar cane by the time I’m done, and ya know what? That’s okay. Food is love.
If you also need some special treats to share with family, friends, teachers, neighbors, the Amazon Prime delivery guy, and anyone else you want to share a little love with this holiday season, you’re in the right place. I’ve rounded up more than 20 easy and elegant edible Christmas gifts. I because I also love you, my dear readers, I’ve included my favorite of ways to dress up those gifts in the prettiest packagings around!
Look good and taste good? I think that’s a…wrap.

Bags and Boxes
Tuck cookies and bark into affordable cellophane bags, and caramels, truffles, and candies into ½-pound or 1-lb candy boxes. I also like these windowpane bakery boxes. For a pretty finish, tie them off with grosgrain ribbon or red and white baker’s twine.
Labels and Tags
Label jars with these adorable chalkboard sticker tags. Use plain paper paper gift tags for a minimalist look or these beautiful graphic tags for affixing to boxes and gift bags. I like these printed stickers or elegant gold stickers for closing candy boxes and cellophane bags.
Jars
Ball pint jars are classic containers for gifting jams, jellies, and sauces, but if you have a little extra cash to spend, splurge on Weck jars. They’re modern and sleek, so pretty you don’t even need wrapping. Okay, maybe a pretty ribbon.
- Mini Weck Jars
- Half Liter Weck Jars
- Mini Ball Jars
- Ball Widemouth Pint Jars
- Ball Half Pint Quilted Jelly Jars
Wrapping and Washi
Wrap up those boxes in some festive wrapping paper, like this modern design, this fun collection, or these gold beauties, or wrap in simple brown craft paper and add a few strips of decorative washi tape.
