My Jar-o-Gifts

Even though I didn't get around to making as many as these as I would have liked, I was able to give a few homemade jar gifts to neighbors and family.
The first is a Brownies-in-a-Jar recipe I found on Lolly Chops. She even provided the labels, which are too cute for their own good. I highly recommend her site/blog. Love it. Love it. Love it.

The second is a super easy Sugar Scrub recipe I found online. It includes:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • squirt of lemon juice
  • And I added a few drops of peppermint oil

I used jars found at Hobby Lobby, but I don't know how functional they are when it comes to getting the scrub out. I had wanted to provide scooper spoons with the jars. Didn't do it.


Now I didn't try either product before giving them away due to the holiday time crunch, but luckily the some of the recipients have reported rave reviews of both. Feeewww!
