I wouldn't personally. It wouldn't bother me if I were given some but they would be put on the shelf to be eaten at a later date.

We tend to make these at christmas if you are looking for something different

they taste so good and are easy to make. I add something else to the mix, white chocolate or nuts but they tend to be our standard gifts for elderly neighbours and teachers. I put in sellophane bags with a christmassy bow.

When is a xmas present not a xmas present?

Cutting down, thought I would buy a box of biscuits/tin of sweets/ box of chocolates as a one joint present instead of individual present save costs but OH says a box of biscuits/tin of sweets etc is not a xmas present, it is what you give as a thank you present or thanks for having me round or to a work colleague or secret santa.

OH says its thoughtless and not a present.

I have made previous years, sweet trees and shortbread, gingerbread men, homemade truffles you name I have made it, they have all loved it so why not a bought box of biscuits?

What do you think?

I think your OH is talking out his b*ckside . But if you've made home-made goodies in the past and given those as pressies, could you not do that again this year?

Any

I am in the camp "it depends".
For colleagues, neighbours... Yes.
For my sister/brother/mother? And share??
Absolutely not.

If you made us 1 gingerbread each, I would be happy. 1 tin of bought biscuits to share? I would think I have done something to you and you are upset with me.

Another one here who thinks it's a bit of a naff present BUT before passing complete judgement would like to know who it's for as that could sway me!

Speak for yourself
We buy biscuits once in a blue moon, so a box of nice biccies (and I'm not talking digestives here) would be appreciated.

My husband and I would be very happy with a box of nice biscuits.

I love choccies or biscuits for Christmas! We don't generally buy them during the rest of the year. Definitely better than something that'll get left in a drawer. I don't drink wine so wouldn't appreciate that either. I'd prefer home-made but appreciate not everyone has the time.

My ideal gift would be nice chocolates and a book.

Biscuiteers biscuits are lovely and I have given them as gifts before (Mothers Day, themed for my sister getting her degree result) but they're so pretty and themed and come in a good tin.

Bit spenny but worth it, they're beautiful: http://www.biscuiteers.com/
