GIFTS IN A JAR

Homemade gifts are a long-standing holiday tradition, and one that brings rewards to both giver and receiver. The giver takes pride in hand-crafting something special for another person, and the recipient usually feels honored that something was made for them rather than being purchased at a store.

With homemade gifts, the sky's the limit on what you can make for another person.

One very popular homemade gift idea is that of Gifts in a Jar. Not only are gift jars easy to make and beautiful to look at with their many layers of ingredients, they also result in some rather tasty goodies!

Another aspect of making gift jars is decorating and labeling the jars! You can dress up a simple canning jar with raffia, ribbons or scraps of beautiful fabric, as well as ribbons or charms. All you have to do is let your creativity flow!

Labels are easy and fun to make, and each can be individually personalized.

You can make your own labels or go to your local stationary store, where you can find different sizes.  Then, you or family members can personalize each label.  These can be made by hand or on your computer

You and your family can enjoy personalizing your gifts and the gift receiver will be pleasantly surprised with a unique and one of a kind gift.
