Hi friends,

Are you in need of a little something to give friends, family, and neighbors for Christmas? Gifts in a jar are a great idea! They are inexpensive, look festive, and can be stored to use later after the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over.

There are tons of recipes for mason jars out there – everything from cookies, brownies, and cocoa to soups and spice mixes. I found this recipe for Friendship Soup here and thought it was just right to warm up the holidays.

I layered the ingredients in wide mouth mason jars and attached the tag with directions for making the soup with a festive ribbon. I printed the instructions on white card stock, then layered them to red and green card stock and punched a hole in the corner.

Here’s a PDF file of the instructions I made if you’re interested…

(I also gave Homemade Cocoa Mix as gifts a couple of years ago – details are in this post.)

I love the idea of giving soup mixes for the holidays! It’s the perfect gift for when your friends, family, and neighbors need a little warm comfort food in the cold days of January. 😊
