Edible Goodies

Gift: Home-baked treats you want to send to everyone in your far-flung fan base.

The Box That’s a Gift to You

Gift: Anything that requires a really big box — one you can reclaim later for storage.
Box: This sturdy cotton- covered cardboard box’s medium size (13 1/4 by 9 by 9 1/4 inches, shown, center) can hold a baseball cap and a stack of X-Box games this season, then ornaments or wrapping supplies for those to come.

The Blah Gift

Gift: One that needs something extra to elevate it from the mundane (like that antiaging serum your sister can’t do without).
