I think it was Aimee from Simple Bites who recently said that anything looks better if it’s presented in a jar, and I’d have to agree. From baking mixes and fresh soups to scrubs and lotions, a simple jar with a pretty ribbon is an elegant way to package many gifts! Here are my favorite gifts in a jar with the link to the original recipe:
