(Don't believe in christmas? I think what you meant was "don't celebrate christmas" - I mean, how could you not believe in it? It exists - you can see proof at every store you go to!)

Anyhow, as far as your gift idea goes, if you but bulk quantities of baking ingredients, you can make yummy jar cakes and jar cookies. Basically, it is a jar you fill with all of the dry ingredients needed to make the yummy treat, layered in the jar so it looks pretty, and you attach a card that says "just add milk and bake" or oil, or whatever the recipe calls for. So they have a a tasty treat that is easy to make and it makes a pretty gift (tie a festive ribbon around the lid of the jar).
