Hello friends.  Can you believe next week is Christmas?  Are any of you ready with all of your gifts?  Well, I have a few last minute gift ideas that you might like.

I love giving mason jar gifts to my neighbors and friends in my various groups.  Mason jar gifts are fun and so easy to make.  All you need to make these gifts is a mason jar, ribbon, a tag, and chocolates or candy of your choice.


Below you will find the links to the blog posts I did on how to make last minute mason jar gifts.

Chocolates in a Mason Jar Gift

I made back in December of 2015 chocolates in a mason jar HERE and this was so easy to make.  Mason jar gifts make gift giving easy and are perfect for teachers, neighbors, and even the hostess at a holiday party.

I made some of these for the ladies in my crochet group last year and they all enjoyed this gift and the chocolates.  You could even make them look cute and use Christmas colored M&Ms inside the mason jar.  How about making homemade cookies and putting them in the mason jar?

Reindeer Droppings Mason Jar Gift

Last year I received this reindeer droppings mason jar gift from my teen's Christmas Fair held at her school.  I loved this gift idea and I enjoyed eating the raisinettes that were inside the decorated mason jar.  I thought this was such a cute idea and it really gave me a good laugh.

If you would like to make one of these reindeer dropping mason jar gifts, then you can click HERE.  If you don't want to use the raisinettes then you can use brown M&Ms.


Hope you all have fun and enjoy making these last minute mason jar gifts.


NOTE:  This will be my last post for December 2017.  I am taking a break to spend time with my family and friends.  Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I will be doing one last post on Monday December 25, 2017 to post the features from our Cooking and Crafting with J & J Link Up!  

I recently joined Vicky at Life on Willie Mae Lane for her 2nd annual ornament exchange that she hosted.  This is my second time involved in this fun exchange with other bloggers.  I enjoyed gathering and making the items for the person that I was assigned by Vicky to send my ornament to.

I sent my package off to Tina who blogs at What We Keep and I look forward to being blog friends.

My lovely gifts arrived in the mail from Linda who blogs at A La Carte and I loved opening up my box of goodies.

Linda included a pretty Christmas Card for me and a sweet note.



I'm in love with this acorn ornament and I can't wait to put it on my Christmas tree.



I also received this cute rustic snowflake ornament with a cardinal on it.



Look at these adorable Christmas clothes pins.  I can't wait to decorate with them.



I love chocolates and I'll look forward to eating them during the holidays.

I have a blog friend Beca from Summerhouse Cottage who had a giveaway on her blog at the end of April and I was the lucky winner of this giveaway.  
Beca has a lovely blog where she shares her love of crochet and has a lovely Etsy Shop where she sells her creations. 
I won a pretty embellished crochet heart hanger and a set of 6 crocheted cotton coasters handmade by Beca.


A crocheted Hen Potholder which is so adorable and Beca crocheted this too! 
  
Lemon hand soap and hand cream and a pretty card for me.



Also included a notepad which will come in handy for me to use while blogging.



Here are cute cupcake liners which I will love using when I bake cupcakes and a pretty bookmark too.
