Some Tips From Dello Mano For Making Your Own Christmas Hand Made Food & Gifts Prepare a gift giving list and determine the number of recipes and batches required. Buy all non-perishable ingredients well in advance - retail grocery stores tend to periodically sell out of many of the popular ingredients during the lead up to Christmas, so shop early and avoid purchasing on the day that you want to cook. Only purchase plump moist good quality dry fruits. The quality of the fruit really does show in your final product so select the best you can. Check the shelf life of any nuts before you make your purchase. Nuts tend to soften and develop rancid flavours so be sure to  choose the freshest of nuts - try them if possible before you buy them. Many of the health and natural food stores will allow you to sample produce rather than purchase pre packed nuts and fruits. Scan recipe books for ideas as many have festive season sections. See some of the recipes we have listed here in the recipe section of our website. Shop around for unusual ribbons, containers and boxes for presenting your gifts. Many of the smaller paper stores provide some unusual and more intriguing items. For gift preparation and presentation flick through the beautiful coverage in magazines such as Vogue Entertaining & Travel and  Gourmet Traveller Ensure that you have enough refrigeration or ice to keep all of your food stored safely until Christmas.
