What a wonderful idea! I hadn't thought about giving herbs as Christmas
gifts. They would be lovely wrapped up in a basket, or painted
terracotta flower pot (to keep with the garden theme). Add a little
raffia, maybe a pretty scrap of Christmas fabric in the bottom for
color, and you're all set.
Now I wish I had grown more this summer. :( Oh well, there's always
next year.

thinking about Christmas (yikes!)

Nay, nay, being often short of ready cash we send herb packets
out at Xmas
to friends and relatives. Always have requests for more basil.
In addition I
make flavored vinegars with various herbs for personal use and
for gifts. I
do use a lot of basil though, sauces, broiled chicken, etc.
Dietary
restraints keep me from using salt so I flavor with yarbs.
