Self-care Christmas gift in a jar

Christmas time can make us very busy. We go to work, but we also have to decorate and run to buy presents. How to make someone happy and relaxed during the holidays? Try making self-care Christmas gift in a jar! What to add inside your big jar? Go to the drug store and buy some of their ideal cosmetics. You can buy a moisturizer, lip oils and butter, cleanser, body lotion and essential oils as well. Also, you can add some candies and different sweets. This is a great idea for making a Christmas gift for a teacher as well.

Mini bar in a jar

Have you ever seen a cuter mini bar? I don’t think so! We all need to warm up during the cold weather! You can create your loved ones favorite gift ever, by placing their ideal choices for mini bottles with whiskey. Maybe your dad, your boyfriend, or your husband loves to have a drink next to the fire place in the cold days? Make him something he would enjoy this Christmas!

Cupcake in a jar

Homemade sweets just hit different! Yes, it is easier to buy cupcakes from the store and just present them to your family. However, to make sure they are fresh and made with the best ingredients, why not do them yourself? Also, you will be adding an extra ingredient that is very important. You will be making them with love, as cheesy as this may sound. What is extra special here? The cupcakes will be in a jar! Freshly packed in a jar, they can last up to 4 to 5 days in a room temperature. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them. Red velvet cupcakes are the perfect choice for Christmas!

Christmas cookies in a jar

This is one of the famous Christmas gift in a jar idea, that you must try this holiday. As I already mention, many people prepare food mixes that you just have to pop in the oven and bake. Another great ideas is the hot cocoa mixture in a jar! How to make a sweet cookie jar mixture? My favorite one is this 4 ingredients recipe! It is easy to make, and it smells like Christmas! Check out the ingredients list!

Ingredients:

1 cup (240 g) peanut butter
1/4 cups (60 ml) maple syrup (you can add more if you want it more sweet)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup (160 g) chocolate chips (you can use dark chocolate if you want)

Mix everything in a large bowl and then put the mixture in the jars. Then freeze them in the freezer. When you are going to give them as a Christmas present, remove them from the freezer. Add a tag with instructions that the mixture can be made into cookies and baked on 180 C (350 F) degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
