The gift of food is always a winning & gracious gift. If you made or grew what you are presenting, even better. The above tomatoes were given to us yesterday by close friends, and were grown and picked by our godson, Magnus. That fact that he just turned 5 makes it all the more special. There is just something incredibly meaningful about giving something you have grown–like flowers, vegetables or fruit. Put in a cool container, it is a gift that will be remembered long after the tomatoes have been enjoyed.

You are so right, a gift that has been handmade, or grown or cooked by someone we care about is even more precious. I was once given tomatoes that weren’t quite ripe by a dear friend. I put them in the windowsill above my sink and watched for days how beautiful they became as they ripened. It was such a simple thing, but it gave me so much pleasure.
I am loving your blog as usual. Have a fabulous day!
