As a parent, we go through endless days where we need to have a gift for tomorrow for the - teacher, friend, coach, and the list goes on and on.  It is amazing the people that come into contact with our children and families that we want show a token of our appreciation.

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, appreciation days, for whatever day you have coming up on your family calendar, there is an easy gift that can be made and given, with all the frills that come with gift giving, just low expense.

Gifts in a jar or gift kits are a great gift idea because it gives your gift a touch of homemade and can be personalized depending on the person that will be receiving the gift.  Best of all there are a variety of gifts in a jar today in addition to the all-loving cookie mixes.

OraganizedChristmas.com has some great ideas for kits and jars.  One that I found to be a great idea for anytime of the year is the My Journal Jar.  The My Journal Jar, for adults and kids, offers various prompts to help you create a journal about yourself.  A great idea for a friend’s birthday gift!

Some additional ideas: Complete your gift by adding a pen and journal.  Nothing too expensive; a simple composition book will do and for a child make the pen silly and colorful.
