Well I've only been able to do 12 of anything so far - so 15 is 3 better than me... Perhaps you could give him 15 blanks for him to fill in what he likes about you! Then put in some hints and tips to put the romance and passion back into the relationship - perhaps aim for 52 items in total - 1 for each week - or add items to fill in the gaps.... I'll leave those to your imagination :rotfl:

Brilliant, great idea.

Thanks so much.

Made my 1st jar today! :j

Got the jar in Poundstretcher (Instore), 3 for £5, the sweets were some I had and some from my local shop, I still have some leftover to do the other 2 jars. The total cost for each jar I estimate to be less than £5. I'm really pleased and I think OH will be delighted with his Xmas gift!
Thanks to everyone for their inspiration :beer:

Hey all, posted this on another thread but thought I would add it on here too, I would say that if you are using Ikea kilner type jars not to put things in them which could be damaged by moisture. They don't form a total seal in my experience which means that if you did a cookie mix now for Christmas it would be spoiled I would think. I am using them for my journal jars and they are a great price but I don't want people to make beautiful gifts now not to have them last long enough.

thanks everyone for your kind comments. I have made one for my mum too but not covered the box yet (thought I would have a trial run with MIL's!)
