  1. Hi Corinne!

    I know this is kind of an odd question, but do you still have the jar that you used to make this project with?

    My daughter (now 16) was given this exact jar back in 2016 from an organization called “Jars for Stars.” They make fun little jars filled with goodies for chronically ill children (my daughter has type 1 diabetes). My daughter loved her jar (and actually later had it on her desk storing little handmade origami “wishing stars” that she made). She recently lost her jar during our move and is devastated. I’ve searched around online but cannot find this jar for the life of me. I only found one image of it on Google and it was from your page. I see that you mentioned purchasing it at Dollar General, but we don’t have any of those stores here (we’re now in Canada).

    If you have this jar, is there any chance that you would consider letting it go? I am more than willing to cover any and all of the costs it get it to us. I know this is such a long shot, but I figure I should reach out just in case!

    • Hi Lisa, you don’t know how much I wish I still had that jar so I could send it to you! Unfortunately, I don’t still have it. I will look at my local dollar stores though on the off chance one of them is carrying it again. If I find it, I promise I’ll email you and let you know so we can arrange getting it to you.

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

  6. 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.

  7. This gives me so many ideas for x mas. Not just for coffee drinkings. I can see all sorts of things in jars, bottles, bags, like coffee with sugar, creamer, different flavors of it all!

    • The lids came with the jars, which I found at my local Dollar General. I’ve seen similar jars at Michael’s.
