Gifts In A Jar, Cookies ~ This Is A Great Idea Book!

Gifts in a jar are some of the most fun gifts I make and this gifts in a jar book is full of great ideas.

Everybody loves cookies! This book even has removable gift tags that you can use for your gift jars, with the recipe for the cookies already printed on the tag. So cute!

The jars with the cookie mix ingredients layered inside can be decorated with fabric, cellophane, raffia ribbon, curling ribbon, stickers, or glass paint, just about any way you want.

I've made gifts in a jar for co-workers, friends, neighbors, etc. You could even make batches of these pretty gifts in a jar for teacher gifts, Sunday School gifts and more. They're great for any holiday or for special occasions too.

Is it Teacher Appreciation Day? How about a special apple cookie recipe in a jar decorated with small apples, gingham fabric, miniature chalkboards, etc? Get the idea? Soon you'll be trying to think of reasons to make up these cute gifts in a jar!

I make *all* my gifts. It just adds a personal touch to the gift.

mysticmama says:

I make most of the gifts I give, paintings, quilts and other crafty stuff...I also baked hundreds of cookies and treats every year for christmas... I gave store bought gifts & didn't make cookies one year a while back because my work schedule didn't allow it that year...and everyone was so disapointed that year that I've never given a store bought gift again

KathyMcGraw says:

I make gifts for people that appreciate them. However recently I haven't made as many as I would like to.

a_willow says:

I do. But they are not appropriate for all.

Nope, I don't make my gifts. I have two left thumbs!
