baked goods + mason jars.

baked goods + mason jars

I never get tired of sweets in mason jars and I thought it would make a perfect gift for my friends this year. I filled the jars with Mexican wedding cookies (Nan Nan makes them every year), dark chocolate walnut cookies and peppermint bark. (The adorable-santa-smoking-a-pipe gift tags are my favorite part).

P.S. The sweetest Christmas song.

I've always thought food gifts in mason jars was a cute idea - yours turned out great! Sometime I want to try the ingredients in a jar... you know layer the ingredients in the jars to make a batch of cookies!

I also got some holiday Rifle cards to send out as thank you's, and I'm actually more excited to send them out than I am to get presents, haha. :)

Oh! Rifle gift cards! So cute.
For the past couple of years I've wanted to give gifts like that...somehow I've managed to...not. I'll work on that.
Looks delicious!

Great gift ideas! I love to make sweet treats as gifts for my friends and the mason jar presentation takes the whole idea to a new level. And I love the Pico vs. Island Trees tune. Thanks for sharing!

i use mason jars for everything, but somehow, stuffing them with sweets and giving them as gifts didn't cross my mind. great idea and they look great!
