text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because they are so easy and such a treat, they are one of my favorite gifts to give.  Last year I baked Cinnamon Roll Bread in my <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/baking-supplies/products/wooden-baking-baskets-set-of-6">Wooden Baking Baskets</a> (still a favorite - the medium is great for 2 rolls) so this year I packaged them in one of my <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/gift-wrap/products/cookie-boxes-set-of-10">Cookie Boxes</a> for giving.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To dress them up a little, I wrapped them in <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/gift-wrap/products/cotton-ribbon">Thin Cotton Ribbon</a> and added a <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/gift-wrap/products/stocking-tags">Stocking Tag</a>.  In very little time, we ended up with 4 boxes of Cinnamon Rolls for giving and 4 rolls for eating.  It is a great project for kids to help with because there is very little precision involved - just lots of sprinkling sugar and cinnamon and drizzling icing.  All things at which Emma excels : )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
