I’m confused what your asking. Do you have to bake? No, of course not! Give out something that doesn’t have to be baked.

Well then everyone will understand that this year you could not bake. Order from the local bakery and daven that you should only not be able to bake because you are so busy with Simchas.

Of course you don't need to bake. You can do lots of things that are nice. People always appreciate real food - a couple of challa rolls or bagels with a dip or tub of cream cheese is nice. Chocolate and grape juice is perfect too. Whatever food that fits your budget and you think people will appreciate receiving is great.

I want the minimum

If you have an amount in mind I can try to help with ideas.

Maybe a little mix of veggies in small plastic containers for the Purim Seuda. Example: olives and sour pickles. They are two brochos.

Wow Mazel Tov! May you have much strength!

Do a beer- it’s big but not pricy. A small package of nuts and chocolate. Buy a big package and repackage both in a small clear plastic bag.

(I’m not either baking - my first year! What a relief!!)

Many thanks to all of you and iy"h by all of you on simchas!

Its very hard to say how much I want to spend as I usually only use to buy a small grape juice and the rest was baked by my own

Small grape juice, bar of chocolate, and a couple of wrapped candies.

The first year I was married I gave a small bottle of grape juice and a mesh bag with some type of candy that I tied around the neck. It was simple, classy, and cheap.
