Equipment

What You Will Need

  • 4 jelly-sized mason jars
  • Gumballs
  • Chocolate candies or a treat of your choice
  • Variety of “self-care” items for the “pamper yourself” jar: masks lotions, lip balm, etc.
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Cough drops

Instructions

  • Start by covering the tops of the lids with paper. I think this makes the gift look more finished but this step is optional.
  • Next, layer each of the ingredients in their respective jars.
  • For the “have a ball” gift you will need gum balls. You can use the color and size of your choice.
  • For the “stay sane” gift, use chocolate or treat of your choice.
  • For the “pamper yourself” gift, include a variety of masks, lotions, and lip balm. Cater the contents of this one to your gift recipient and whether they are male or female.
  • For the “stay healthy” gift, some hand sanitizer and cough drops work well.
  • Use small labels of your choice to label the front of each of your small jars once they are full. I hand lettered the labels with a sharpie.
  • Add all four jars into a party treat bag.
  • Next, print the free printable topper. Use a paper cutter or cut carefully with scissors. You want to cut so that when you fold in half the front will be the words and the back will be blank.
  • Sandwich the top of the plastic bag between the folded topper and staple in a few places.
  • Now, your jars are ready for gifting!
