[KingOfCool12]

i gave these to my mum and she got mad of me , so she smashed it on the floor and asked where did i get the crap idea from, shall i tell her it was from you, she will be mad of you!

[millie73]

What a lovely and yummy idea...its that season approaching again, so hurry to the kitchen Martha :-)

[Jinxie228]

LOL -- yeah I need to get back in there and make some stuff. My husband's co-workers love it when I bake. lol

Take care,

Martha

[yoyomax12]

I love these "things in a jar" and give them away as gifts every year!

[Jinxie228]

Yeah, I love making things to give away! Thank you so much for stopping!

[bugsinrug]

YouTube ate my first comment!! Grrr! I said that this was a wonderful gift idea and that I hoped you would be sharing us more this holiday season. hugs, Chris :-)

[Jinxie228]

Hey Chris... thanks for dropping back by again. I guess Youtube was hungry for comments. lol I was planning on doing a bunch of videos in October and got side-tracked so we will see what I can do. take care, Martha

[popparoc46]

Martha, it is time to do some more of these. I need ideas for Christmas gifts. I am going to do this one - what else do you have????

- roc

[Jinxie228]

roc, I have several of these I guess I need to get on the ball! Do you just want Christmas gift ideas associated with just cooking or does it matter?

[popparoc46]

It doesn't matter, Martha. I am intending on making a vlog this afternoon and I will elaborate there! Thanks!!

[ncastroclan]

this is great!

[Jinxie228]

Thank you! I love the soup in the jar recipes too. Appreciate you stopping by!

[lilltube]

What a nice idea! Thanks for sharing.

[Jinxie228]

Thank you so much for stopping!

[hungarianszilard]

lol no offence or anything but I could have figured out to find a some dirty jar in my house wash it out then put some sugery junk in it then decorate it lol

[Jinxie228]

None taken.. of course this video wasn't for you!

[Bree5]

oh way too yummy!...Love you! hugs!

[Jinxie228]

Love you too Bree!!! Hugs and stuff!

[CurleeQ82]

I love doing stuff like that for the girls at work. This year I just made them fudge and put it in a little tin. I will have to do the cookies next year. Good idea!

[Jinxie228]

Fudge in the tins is an awesome idea!!!! Thanks for stopping!

[penncity]

So pretty! Merry Christmas!!!

[Jinxie228]

Thank you so much!!! Merry Christmas (Late)

[HiddenFromView]

This is a great Christmas gift idea.

[Jinxie228]

Thanks for stopping by... it went over well!

[silverscreamgrl]

This is awesome Martha! I was going to throw one together today, but I cannot find the recipe, darn it! If I find it tonight, I'll make it tomorrow morning and try to post it in the afternoon.

[Jinxie228]

Very cool Beth!!! I hope you find it!! lol

[silverscreamgrl]

I didn't find it! I'm so bummed. It was a 'tropical' cookie. I went out and bought all the tropical crap! Now what am I going to do with it? LOL I have mango and cranberries and pineapples and and and It's here, it's just a matter of WHEN I find it.

[anakin1814]

Okay, now i want a double chocolate chip cookie! LOL

Great idea! :)

[Jinxie228]

They do sound good huh (not that I would know)lol - Honest I am on my diet (so I can't taste test)... Okay who am I kidding, I did a test and yep they were good. lol

I will have to send you a jar and you can bake some. lol

[payit4ward]

We call them biscuits in Scotland , Jinxie but I prefer the American word "cookies", it makes them sound even more tasty!!!.....mmmm mmmm mmmm ; )lol

Billy........xx

[Jinxie228]

hahah Billy... yeah biscuits here we eat with gravy or jelly and butter. Either one is mmmmmmm good!

Hugs and stuff,

Martha

[novmoon]

What a good idea, saw them at walmart but never thought it coast so cheap, and its a nice gift.

[Jinxie228]

Honestly funny thing is I can sell them for much more. Like when I make the cocoa.. I can make 8 pint jars and it averages out to $1.80 a jar depending on how fancy your decorations are.

[breezin48]

That's a great idea! I'll take 3 jars, please. Just bring them on over Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to me. -sue

[Jinxie228]

Sue.. now that would be great.. you want some cocoa too?

A Very Merry Christmas to you!

Hugs,

Martha

[angie8088]

OOh, nice idea. That way they get fresh warm cookies.

[Jinxie228]

Yeah and they can be modified according to the lifestyle of the person you are giving it to.

[celestialsam]

I actually gave my English professor a jar of cookies this past Monday as an early Christmas gift:)  Heh heh. He said they were the best he's ever tasted:D Great ideas, Martha;)

[Jinxie228]

Sam, seeeeeee people do love them. It is quick and easy for them to make at home.

Hugs and Merry Christmas,

Martha

[popparoc46]

This is a terrific idea, Martha. Why (oh why) didn't you post this three weeks ago??? I'll never remember for next year... I am always running around in a panic, trying to get the ubiquitous and elusive gift, and here it is, right at YOUR fingertips! - roc

[Jinxie228]

Oh man roc -- sorry about that. I will remind you next year .. promise ( I have a ton of them) I like giving soup... especially the six-bean soup because it is so colorful. I have a whole bunch of them. Hugs and stuff, Martha

[brenkatz]

great idea, peace and health to you and yours this holiday season, hugs :)

[Jinxie228]

Peace and Health to you and your!!! Thanks for stopping Bren,its always a pleasure to see you!

Hugs and stuff,

Martha

[sugarandlance]

I love drinking out of mason jars. :)

[Jinxie228]

Justin... I hear ya on drinking out of them. We do that a lot around here. Especially in the summer time.

[CountryComesToTown]

That's a great idea Martha! I think people really like getting gifts like that. Hope to see you tonight in the Stickam world! LOL -Jim

[Jinxie228]

Thanks Jim... homemade gifts are fun to do as well. I got a late start this year so I didn't make as many as I wanted to but I am starting early next year. See ya later

[888torontomeetup]

: ))

[Jinxie228]

Thanks for stopping!

[stublo2]

YUMMY! I love gifts like this, that are simple and people have put thought into, this is given me a great idea, im crap at buying gifts lol :)

[Jinxie228]

Stu, I make most of my gifts and I have a ton of them. lol

google gifts in a jar and you will find all kinds of ideas to make. I have several of the cookbooks.

Have fun!

[stublo2]

Im might have to do this now,i will let you know what i do :)

[Hippiefied1]

Wonderful idea Martha =) I've received those before and yes, they are absolutely perfect for when you want to hurry and make cookies without trying to find all the stuff you need =)

Perfect.

Love you so much!!

Lisa~

[Jinxie228]

Lisa,

I like the soup in the jar and the cocoa too. Quick and easy.  I have found folks that are single or a couple really enjoy them so they can make a dessert for a party without having to buy all the stuff or have a nice soup without the trouble. lol

Hugs and stuff,

Martha

[Fringe111]

It all looks great but I never thought of the Jar, good idea thanks

[Jinxie228]

Joy, thank you for stopping by. I love to make soup in a jar too.. the beans are so colorful.

Take care,

Martha

Merry Christmas!

[Fringe111]

Thak you Martha

Have a very Merry Christmas with you and yours

[trillian57]

The cookies sound wonderful, and the gift jar is ingenious. Happy holidays to you and yours, Martha. xoxo

[Jinxie228]

Vicky, Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays to you too! I like where you hung Tubegranny (thats what I call her too).

Martha
