This versatile and useful jar is ready to give to your Valentine.
Slip a recipe card under the ribbon on the back side of the
jar and you have a thoughtful and delicious gift to give…if
you can resist making it for yourself!
Or fill the jar with homemade goodies like candy, roasted
nuts or cocoa mix. Or think outside the jar and fill it with
small gifts like toys, stamps, jewelry or a gift card to a
gourmet cooking store or a dinner out!
