Gifts from the Kitchen, Holiday Jars
This little gift will bring a smile to anyone’s face
Perfect for neighbors, friends, or that impossible to buy for person on your list
I got all the goodies at Target except for the Peppermint Spoons which I ordered here
Peppermint Mocha and Vanilla instant latte packets, mini peppermint bark candies, mini gingerbread men cookies, and marshmallows
Tuck everything into a quart size Ball jar
Arrange things so the front sides are visible
It’s kind of like window shopping, peaking in the windows š
Add a cupcake paper or cut a circle of wrapping paper to cover the lid
If using a cupcake paper, flatten it out as much as possible and smooth it over the center lid insert, place on jar and add the sealing ring
Tie on a pretty ribbon and a Merry tag [also from Target]
And you’re ready to deliver!
Here’s a printable supply list:
