I was just thinkng this same question. Lol! I like the 4 idea for gifts and 8 to sell. Am I being lazy?
This is a good question and one that I have thought of also. If it is a small family I usually make 6 and if there are children, 2 or more - then I make 8.
Thanks , Hmm perhaps I should go for 8 - if I make 8 it will then cover both scenarios.
