Homemade gifts in a jar are a fun, frugal, and great holiday gift to share with just about any one. In past years I have made homemade Christmas gifts in a jar for girl friends, neighbors, teachers and family.
The possibilities are endless, and remember they are a great starter to build a gift basket. For example, start with a jar of cookie mix, and add a kitchen towel, pot holder, and spatula, or homemade vanilla along with a batch of homemade cookies along with the recipe. Or just add a pretty ribbon and tag and you have a simple, stylish gift!
I’ve gathered 16 great gift in a jar ideas for your holiday planning!
