Mason Jar Gift Roundup
It's November, and Christmas is coming! My first step in Christmas shopping is making a list. I love lists! I have an Excel sheet with tabs back to 2006 that lists names of everyone I buy for and gift ideas. I highlight the gift I end up giving so I can look back and see what I have given over the years. Take a look at my list here and download a version for yourself to stay on track {and budget} this year.
So far this year I have ideas for everyone and have even purchased a few items I know will be hard to find come December. A number of my ideas include Mason jars this year. These are so cute and versatile, I have a bunch I can reuse and the gift recipient can use the contents and the jar - perfect!
I plan on doing some cookies, a teacher jar, maybe a co-worker jar (I have the responsibility of buying my husband's close co-worker gifts....no sarcasm here I really like it!).

Here is my inspiration for Mason jar gifts this year.
Cookies in a jar, attach the recipe, a cute tag, and that's it. This post from Bump Smitten gives nice details on how to layer your ingredients.
This is a great idea from The Happier Homemaker to have around the house and a unique gift idea. I could see giving this to someone who has everything!
I love this idea from Relish.com. A good hearty soup is great in winter. Layer it nice and pretty in a jar and pair it with a couple spoons and bowls. Love this!
Hot cocoa mix + marshmallows in jar, just add Bailey's! Great gift idea from Good n U?. I think most of my mommy friends and relatives would appreciate this, I know I would.
Another hot cocoa mix in a jar, this one from Pumpkin and a Princess is beautifully embellished, so pretty. I love that, when properly decorated, a mason jar gift does not need wrapping.
Update: This cookie gift was a hit this year!
I am feeling inspired over here, I'll be sure and share the final gifts I come up with.
What would you gift in a jar?
