29-Day Giving Challenge

Sherrie33 suggested Jars in July:

 

Fill empty jars with something someone needs.  Then decorate them and give them away.  Make them personal or make them random.

 

Need Ideas? How about  nuts, chex party mix, homemade croutons, cookies, birdseed, pet treats, buttons, potpourri, quotes, shells,  things you like about the person, jokes, ..... 

 

Speaking of jokes, I'd like to add a Jokes in July challenge, as well.  Make someone laugh with a great joke - the sillier the better.

Great recycle idea for jars! You just gave me an idea for Christmas gifts from my pets to other family pets this year. Think I'll take a stab at making homemade treats and "wrapping" them in jars this year, with the recipe(s) attached.

Thanks!

It was fun and easy, I used a plastic jar with a red lid and it only took Duchess a couple of times to figure out were the treats are kept, LOL.
A beginner rider at the stables was trying to saddle a horse. “Excuse me,” said the old hand, “but you are putting that saddle on backwards.” “How do you know,” snapped the student. “You don't know which way I’m going.”
thanks for the laugh this morning! i needed that.

I love this idea!  I would also like to bring up an idea shared by Mythica a few months ago for wonderful gift containers.

I have made these gift containers and filled them with healthy low calorie snacks for my TOPS friends.

Another idea for a really meaningful gift, especially for an older family member or friend is to make a memory jar:  Just have the whole family (or group of friends, etc.) write down special memories they have shared with the intended receiver and put them in a decorative jar.  My sons did this for both their grandmothers several years ago and both of them cherished this gift throughout the remainder of their lives.
