So many of these would make fabulous holiday presents! I still can’t get over how beautiful that leather mason jar sleeve is from Josh. Truly a work of art. I’m planning to make some infused olive oil and some jam this weekend as my holiday gifts 🙂

I tried to pick a favourite, but I honestly love them all! I think I like the snowflake one the most because it would brighten up an entire room.

The mixes in jars are so cute! I’ve always wanted to do gifts like that before, but have a hard time determining what size of jar to use. I’m always afraid of picking one too small and not being able to fit all the ingredients. Or, picking one too big and having a huge empty space. Any tips on picking the right size?
wow, this is so great! you make me want to start shopping for Christmas immediately 🙂
