Gifts in a Jar…
A group of my equally finance-challenged girlfriends and I did this a few years back; we each got a case of Mason jars and had to come up with the most creative gifts packaged in the jars. Mine weren’t that clever (Editor’s note: yes, you’re so shocked, because you know what a Martha Stewart I am) I used my favorite chocolate chunk cookie recipe with the dry goods layered.
But my girlie Martha did a whole afternoon of kid’s activities in a jar…Caroline fit in a pair a shoes (don’t ask, it got weird) and Janna did the Mason jar Night of Romance. It was hysterical! Here’s an entire E Book called “Gifts in a Jar,” and it’s a free-bee! You can download it here. There’s some great ideas for last-minute gifties–nice to have in the closet when someone you didn’t plan on drops by with a gift for you. These cute home made ideas look far more personal than that candle with a ribbon hastily slapped on, eh?
