November 9, 2018 at 12:23 pmI 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.

November 8, 2018 at 9:29 pmNice 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

November 7, 2018 at 10:22 pmThis 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!

Corinne Schmitt says
November 7, 2018 at 9:13 amThe lids came with the jars, which I found at my local Dollar General. I’ve seen similar jars at Michael’s.
