Gifts in jars

I love Bakerella too! Although I miss all her non cake pop posts!

The Cowboy Cookies are great, and can be made with Xmas M&M's (green & red). You can also do it sans nuts. Just remember you'll need a 1 litre Jar to work.

You could also make Jar Candles, Do little soaps or bath bombs. Or even better make some bath salts or salt scrubs.

And for gardening friends you could make a little jar with packets of seeds and attach some gardening tool etc to the outside of the jar.

Can you put glass in the freezer? I have no idea. But home made ice-cream or sorbet would be fun too..

Glass can be dodgy in the freezer Nelle, I wouldn't risk it.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. In the end I found a cranberry chutney recipe...most expensive component being the cranberries which are on special this week...am cooking it up now, it's a gorgeous colour, it has currants and cloves and ginger in too so a nice Christmassy theme. I am going to do some fancy labels and call it "Christmas in a jar", and trim it with circles of christmas fabric out of my stash.
