Weck jars sell for less than $4 each and are available everywhere. These jars are trendy and sexy. So the containers are a pretty frugal and great idea to begin with.
Place something the can be kept inside the jar such as toffee or candied nuts. You can choose to bake some brownies or cookies. Grandma’s marinara sauce would also be great. Preserves such as an easy pickle would also be excellent. After your friends have ingested your simple gift, they would still be left with the jar to remember your gift.
You can also find some brownie or cookie recipe. Leave out the eggs and butter. Add all the dry ingredients in layers. Place a label and add some bow made of fabric. This gift idea would not need wrapping. The whole thing would cost less than $10, including the jar.
