I do crafts, and repurposed stuff I already had - didn’t have to buy anything at the mall - awful experience now that they cater to the crowd that has “sticky fingers” - the food court now shows suggestive music videos.... won’t buy food there, found it’s easier to make something unique and save my mall money :)
I gave home canned apple pie filling, cowboy candy and salsas. Also made cookies and candied pecans. People loved it. (Or so they told me!) Oh, the one gift I bought at a “mall” was purchased at an antique mall...a pair of oil burning lamps coz we think everyone should be prepared for the coming Obama economic & societal collapse.
