I've tried to do it but always got stuck. Can't see the forest for the trees, maybe. I have a suggestion for your gift baskets, if it's not too late. www.Truffle Zone.com They sell hand-picked Oregon White Truffles (mushrooms, not chocolates) and other local/seasonal wild mushrooms. I'm not sure if they still have a booth at the year-round Salem Public Market on SE 12th and Rural, but they're based in Salem. They also have easy recipes for each mushroom variety.

I'm feeling a little run down for making stuff right now, though. Will have to check out Witness Tree. I made chocolate truffles once… great gift.

I don't have anything to add... I always make homemade chocolate truffles and caramels for gifts. However, Witness Tree wines are definitely going to be making their way under my tree this year for several people. Yummm. Awesome gift bags, Emily!

Clear Hills Honey lipbalms and creams. The honey, beeswax, and whatnot are all produced by a small family beekeeping business in Eugene and transformed into the most delectable treats by work from home mom Carmela here in Salem. She has amazing flavors for her lipbalms everything from Lemon Meringue (which tastes like a slice of pie!) to Oregon blueberry and Oregon hazelnut to the not-so-plain Jane Vanilla Honey. Her double Rose infused hand creme is incredible and healing especially during the Winter months of chapped skin. And for knitters she's developed a special Knitters' Balm that is good for your hands and yarn too! You can find her on the WAHM website http://hyenacart.com/clearhillshoney/ or directly at http://clearhillshoney.com/ You are really missing something good in there!
