This is what I'm personally giving out as friend/neighbor gifts this year. It's always nice to take a meal to your friends but a meal like this means they can eat it whenever they are hungry for it and not just on the day you bring it over.
Here's what I plan on including in my gift basket:
- A jar of Pasta Sauce (You could also do home canned, or home canned tomatoes with a packet of Italian Seasoning)
- Package of pasta
- Garlic Gold
- Breadmaker Bread Mix (so they can make their own garlic bread!)
- Pasta spoon or wooden spoon
- Jar of Olives
- Small jar of Olive Oil
What else could you put in a Pasta Night gift basket? You could always take it a step further and add a movie and dessert, or you could keep it simple with the above items.
Find even more homemade gift ideas!

What a cute idea! I think this might be a keeper. We moved into a new neighborhood this year, and I’ve been looking for something a use as gifts for them all. I was thinking about cookies, but this is so cute, I think I’ll go with something similar. Thanks!
One of my favorite gift baskets is muffin mixes (homemade or store bought) with measuring spoons and cups, a rubber spatula, a muffin pan and local honey and homemade jam. I’ve done this for holidays and especially wedding gifts, with a pretty basket and wrap you can match it to any season
