I have made handpainted xmas cards in the past. You can buy heavy watercolor paper and envelopes in a box at an art supply store.
I've also cooked fudge, bought tins at the dollar store, and mailed it to people across the country. The postage was considerable but it was worth it. People love it because I don't know anyone else but me that makes handmade things for xmas presents. I'm sure other people do it.

Local business you can support:

www.eilenbergerbakery.com

Their fruitcakes are better than the Deluxe fruitcakes made in Corsicana. The pecan cakes are good for those of us who don't dig candied fruit; they have a lot more nut and a lot less candied fruit. This also comes in chocolate nut cake.
