I know many of you may be scrambling right now to come-up with gifts for your children’s teachers and the coaches in their lives. Our family really values the people who help us shape our children and this year we decided to make them homemade holiday gifts.
Granola has always been a favorite in our home, so we decided to share some of our favorite granola (click HERE for the recipe) with the special people in our lives. My daughter helped me make the granola and I was very thankful for her help because we made a TON!!! We made 4 double recipes and luckily it was the right amount…isn’t it funny how things have a way of working out?
We made 24 gifts (each in a 1 quart Ball mason jar). As a bonus this ended-up being a wonderfully inexpensive project with each gift costing between $5-6 plus our time. Time well spent.
Given how frugal (read: cheap) I am, I love this idea! I’m all about the homemade mixes in Mason jars- hand scrubs, spice mixes, cookie ingredients, etc. I have my work cut out for me over the holidays 🙂
Me too! My sister always makes great spice rubs and gives them as gifts…so fun!
