Gifts in a Jar

For years some of my families members have been exchanging food gifts and homemade candies and cookies and of course, gifts in a jar.

It all started when I was a teenager and a friend gave me cookies (mix) in a jar and I thought it was so genius.

I was immediately compelled to  discover other gifts in a jar.

Along the way I have found soups, cookies, cakes, pasta and drink mixes that can all be placed in a jar, tied with a pretty ribbon and instructions on how to make the recipe.

I love giving them and I love getting them.

Tastes just like Christmas in a mug. I promise you’ll love this Gingerbread Spice Mocha Coffee Mix.

You can either layer the ingredients and have the recipient shake it all up when they are ready to use, or you can shake it all up for them and give it that way.

The photo at the top shows the ingredients layered, the one below this shows the ingredients all mixed up.

When I make this, I usually add it to an already brewed cup of coffee, but it does already have coffee in it. Also, I choose to use cocoa powder because I like the deeper chocolate flavor and I think it tastes better.

If you use cocoa powder like I do, rather than hot cocoa mix (for hot chocolate with sugar already in it) you may want to either increase the sugar in the recipe to 1 cup OR just add directions on the tag that tell the recipient to add their own sweetener (which makes it better because they can control the sugar content).

Either way this is absolutely fantastic and makes a great gift!

    1. The packaging was not my idea – that was my daughter’s… well the jar was mine but the little “hat” for the jar was all hers. We were going to cover it in fabric as we did in the past until she found that. haha

  1. Great gift idea and I already thought of a few of my friends that would love getting this (big coffee/flavored coffee drinkers).

  2. I love this gift from the kitchen! How fun and I bet adding the gingerbread makes it amazing!

  3. Um. My plain ol’ cup of coffee is leering at me right now. It totally needs a scoop of this goodness. Fabulous gift idea, I know it’d go over great with my loved ones. πŸ˜€

    1. ha Karen, I am in love with those jars, I have no clue why. hehe
      I’ve done the powdered milk too, and while I like it – I think the creamer makes it .. well – creamier. hehe
      Doesn’t matter you recipe looks DELICIOUS!!

  4. Ooh, that looks so warm & cosy ! What a lovely gift to give & receive πŸ™‚ ! I may try making this but even better if you could gift me one ! Just kidding πŸ˜‰ !!

  5. Oh, boy, does this sound wonderful! Perfect drink to start a chilly morning. What a great gift…love the Santa hat packaging, too!

  6. hee hee! I love the little santy hat. I sure could use a cup of that mocha right about now. It’s 2:30 and I am either in need of a sugar fix or a nap.

  7. Mmm…this sounds like a heavenly mix of flavours. I don’t know if I’ll be able to give it away – I’m just going to end up drinking it all myself! Love the adorable Santa hat on top of the jar, btw. My Christmas decorations were taken out of the closet last night and I’m putting them up as soon as I get off work.

  8. how cute!! I love the way you packaged it. Perfectly festive and oh so delicious!
