Christmas Gifts in a Jar

This year, I'm going to put a little more creativity into the gifts I give. I love shopping for friends and family but making gifts can be more budget-friendly.

Also, there's not greater fear during the holidays than giving a gift that someone else has already bought someone.

I am excited to dive into the gift-giving process this year and if you know anything about me – I've already started planning. If it weren't for my family, I'd skip the fall decorating and jump right into Christmas.

DIY Christmas Gift in a Jar

DIY Seasonings Greeting Jar Gift:

To make this, you'll need some small jars which can easily be found at your local craft store. However, I prefer to purchase right from Amazon.

DIY Gifts for Cooks

What I love about these is that you can make a variety of seasonings or even buy pre-packaged seasonings. I won't tell.

However, I prefer to make my own seasonings simply so it will be nothing like the recipient can buy themselves. You can theme the seasonings sets if you'd like. For example, you can give Christmas seasonings: Nutmeg, Cinnamon, and Rosemary.

Be creative! It's easy to find seasoning mix recipes online. I love the three flavors in this tutorial, though. These give variety, flavor, and may not be something the giftee has in the home.

Plus, the free gift tags are specifically made for these flavors: Smoky Barbecue, Spicy Taco, and Buttermilk Ranch. Isn't this a fun DIY Christmas Gift in a Jar?

    Hey Jill! Thanks for your questions. The seasoning mixes are to be used as one would use any other seasoning or mix. I personally season based on taste because it varies based on what you’re cooking and how much.

  2. Jill E Backhus says:

    Love the idea of these mixes as gifts…wondering what the directions are for the recipient?
    For Example…what do you “hydrate” the buttermilk ranch dressing with…how much per mix amount?
    And how much taco seasoning gets mixed with 1 # browned meat? And do you have to add water and cook it down?
