What are some of your favorite Mason jar food gifts ideas for the holidays?
I want to make some for LO 's daycare teachers and attach a sbux gc to them.
Any ideas for cute sayings that's festive and food related?
Thanks!
-
I don't have a specific recipe, but some with dried beans, herbs, veggies that would make soup could be cute! That with the giftcard could be "A little gift to warm you up this holiday season"
-
I love the hot cocoa ones with a layer of mini marshmallows on top
-
I always think the ones layered with the dry ingredients for some kind of cookie are nice. I like cowboy cookies, with oatmeal, cinnamon, nuts, chocolate and butterscotch chips.
-
My sil did this for Halloween... I'll take a pic and attach in a minute.
-
I like the hot cocoa and soup ones too, I probably wouldn't be able to get my act together to actually BAKE the ones that require additional ingredients.
-
@Beyond2: @looch: but are they suppose to bake one cookie then or make one bowl of soup? LOL
I'm liking the idea of smores in a jar.
Teddy graham's, green & red Hershey kisses, mini Marshmellow and teddy Graham again? -
@locavore_mama: huh? the ingredients for the soup or cocoa are all included, with the exception of the water. You could do a single serving of the cocoa, but I think a person would make the whole batch of soup.
With the cookie mix, you usually have to add an egg, oil, water, butter, etc. That's what I meant, the cookie mix isn't all inclusive of the Ingredients.
-
I"m doing Hot Cocoa this year for my family members and MAYBE will attempt homemade marshemellows too
-
@looch: I just meant with the size of a Mason jar there's probably only enough space for ingredients to make one serving of soup. Or maybe a few cookies. Seems a lot of effort for the giftee? Maybe I'm wrong?
-
@LuLu Mom: do you have a homemade cocoa recipe?!?
-
@locavore_mama: I think with the cookies, you put enough in for a small batch, it probably makes 6-8 cookies when you are said and done.
As for the soup, you can get a lot of beans and spices in a mason har! I agree that it's a lot of effort, i was thinking something like a layered trail mix would be cool.
-
@locavore_mama: I think the bigger mason jars make a batch of cookies.
What if, instead of food, you did bath salts or homemade body cream? -
@looch: yes, I'm leaning more towards something that doesn't really require them to cook or bake. I have no idea if they can! LoL
@Ash: I love that idea! I have always wanted to try my hand at candles..... Hm maybe like a festive scented candles?!
-
@locavore_mama: I think that'd be great! I like the idea of providing something relaxing (think bath & homemade candle) sipping on some sbux. Ooooo!
-
@locavore_mama: I did homemade bath scrub last year, with brown sugar, coconut oil and something else! I forget. I can try to find the recipe. the coconut oil obviously hardened, but when you're in the shower and/or manipulate it with your hands it turns into an oily scrub again.
-
@sorrycharlie: yes, please! And you're right there are a ton of scrub recipes floating around pinterest as well.
-
@locavore_mama: This is the one I"m going to use, I haven't tried it yet so I can't fully vouch on it's taste, but it looks simple & similar to one my favorite teacher in HS used to make for us
-
I would fill it with sweets - either chocolate candies, homemade choc chip cookies (you can stack them), homemade toffee or caramels
Since your attaching a Starbucks GC you could say something like Chocolate and Coffee - 2 things to get you thru the holiday season - or something to that effect!
-
@Mamaof2: Ohh I like this idea. I always make a lot of sweets during the holidays for work, family, etc. And now with a daycare provider I am still brainstorming.
This is a cute way to package those goodies for an individual. Thanks! -
@Mamaof2: cute! I was planning on baking sugar cookies with LO this year. So it would be cute that she 'helped'.

@locavore_mama: last year I made layered hot cocoa jars. They turned out really nice, and yummy!
-
@Mamaof2: this is a great idea!
