Gift in a Jar Ideas?

I have an overload of mayo jars that I have collected. Does anyone have a tried and true gift in a jar that will fit in a mayonnaise jar?

You could put in home made coupons like; good for 1 back rub or something and decorate them and give it to a family member

You could make homemade bath salts and put that in them. To follow are some recipes. Or put together all the dry ingredients for cookies, attach a recipe card on how to finish and bake them.

Recipes for Bath Salts

2 cups epsom salts
2 drops essential oil
2 drops food coloring

I like my bath salts a pastel color so I don't use much food coloring but that is up to you. I get most of my fragrance oils online. You can also divide this up and layer them with different colors in your container. I would not mix scents though.

Oatmeal Bath Salts

2 cups of Epsom salts
1/2 cup of regular oatmeal (generic is fine)
2 drops of essential oil
2 drops food coloring

For this recipe you need a blender or other appliance that will pulverize the oatmeal. You want it to have the consistency of very fine beach sand. Add your fragrance oil and coloring.

Milk Bath Salts

2 cups epsom salts
1/2 cup dry powdered milk
2 drops essential oil
2 drops food coloring

Make sure that you stir well to evenly distribute the color. I also always use a chocolate fragrance oil or rose with this one. My friends say it smells good enough to eat.
