Gifts in a jar

I have been thinking about what to get adults in family for this years Christmas presents. The presents are only little gifts off my children so we don’t spend too much.

I had an idea about getting those jars from the pound shop and filling them with sweets they liked when they where little. I think that will be ok for some, but was thinking I might try and do something different for a few of them.
Has anyone got any ideas what I could put in the jar for non food gifts? Need ideas for male and females.
Thanks

  • i am planning on making sugar scrubs this year/xmas. its essentially sugar, and essential oils. so easy to make and cheap too! they could go in the jars. or recipes in a jar, so layer the ingredients for gingerbread men (including buttons/smarties) and maybe tie ribbons and cutter around jar neck.
