  4. I did gifts in a jar for Xmas gifts last year. Everyone loved them so much I’m doing it again. Love the Starbucks and Baileys. I know lots of family members who’d love that.

  5. Nice gift idea. I was thinking a nice teacher gift but I’m not sure if the kids can take bailey’s to school. I better not get them expelled from school. Maybe its a better gift for the mailman….or music teacher

    • LOL, yes, probably not appropriate for a child to deliver to a teacher unless you wanted to swap in flavored creamer in lieu of Bailey’s.
