CHRISTMAS | Published December 4, 2013 Libbie, one of my friends from college, contacted me about collecting some ideas for her that involved using recycled bottles for Christmas gifts. She has a lot of gifts to give to her family and likes to find an inexpensive way to give each person a little something. When she brought up the suggestion, I had no idea how many great ideas I'd find! I'm not a person who typically likes a "crafty" gift, so I was on the hunt for ideas that look "professional." I also was trying to find things other than the typical cookie mix in a jar idea. If you are on the lookout for some creative ideas for an inexpensive gift, I hope this will give you a little inspiration!

Hope something here gives you an idea for a way that you can give a gift in a jar this year!
