Yes indeed; friends and family at my age appreciate it much more if I make something for them rather than simply purchase a gift.

Great gift ideas, and very nice packaging.

Last year I gave a variety of infused salts, and they were a big hit, but the packaging was mediocre. Do you have a special place or website where you purchase your packaging?

Check the first item on your list.  I think you combined two different recipes.  Vanilla Fleur de Sel isn't made with Pure Cane Raw Sugar.  Just an oversight on your part I'm sure.

You are correct, I did correct it and thanks. Just old age.

Thanks. I'm familiar with Uline, and will definitely be checking out Freund , and Paper Mart. If you can't find what you are looking for at Paper Mart, you may want to check out Paper Direct (http://www.paperdirect.com/?scid=GGBR20E&gclid=CISysMjY6LkCFYuk4AodG3oArg). They have a wide assortment of unique labels and stationary.
