Since the first article went online I’ve received several emails from readers telling me of their favourite gift edibles and drinkables. Thank you very much! I’m passing some of them along to the rest of Creativity’s readers.

Continuing this series of articles that celebrate creativity for Christmas, this article concentrates on giving gifts that are drinkable, rather than edible. These are great gifts, especially in these financially precarious times, and show the recipient that you’ve given thought on his/her behalf.
