Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to bring families and friends together. National Tie One On Day shares that warm feeling a day early and gives people a chance to enjoy their love of cooking and do something generous for others. Look for top items for National Tie One On Day to help you get started on this holiday.
National Tie One On Day was established in 2006 by EllynAnne Giesel, a cook with her own website and blogs and an endorser of aprons. She realized that while Thanksgiving may frequently showcase family togetherness and warm feelings, that might not be the case for everyone. So she encouraged people to "tie on" an apron, bake some bread or other baked goods, and give them to someone who may be going through hard times. The recipient may be a relative, friend, neighbor, or co-worker. The cook wraps up the baked good in an apron, includes a heartfelt note with the package, and drops it off at the recipient's house that same day, or if the cook is working that Wednesday, Thanksgiving Day.
The day begins with an apron. The cook can wear their personal apron to cook a bread. Then to wrap the baked good, either the cook can use a new apron or a gently-used apron. If going with a used apron, make sure there are no tears or holes in it. To fix any damages, a sewing machine or sewing needle kit usually work wonders.
For baking bread from scratch, cooks need separate containers for flour, wheat and sugar. A rolling pin and cutting board are useful items too as well as a pan for bread or another baked good (pie, cake, or muffins). For those who prefer not to cook from scratch, look into bread-making machines, including Hamilton Beach's Artisan Dough and Bread Maker.
The right stationary can enhance the note itself. Whether it's a plain yet sturdy notecard or a stylish notepad with your name imprinted on the pages, the stationary lets the recipient know you put extra effort into the note. Heartfelt Creations' Floral Frame Collection and similar stationary sets feature an attractive frame that should brighten the recipient's spirits.
The note can be a family experience. Have children include a drawing with the note, using colored pencils and crayons. If the notecard is plain, you and your children might color it and add glitter.
