Could there be a nicer Christmas present that something home-baked? Actually, for me, there is one thing that tops that: a homemade cookie mix in a jar! If your loved ones like baking, these jars are the perfect idea. The jars can be assembled in five minutes for a simple, homemade gift. Stick a pretty label to each jar listing the other ingredients and the baking instructions. And there you have it - a wonderful gift for friends and family members who enjoy baking (and eating!). The cookies themselves are packed with spices for that cosy, warm winter mood: think ginger, cinnamon, cardamom...
