During the holidays, you want to make your friends and family feel special by giving them gifts, but it can get a little crazy sometimes and I know I personally need options that are more personalized without breaking the bank.

Making easy gifts from the kitchen is one of the best ways I know to show friends and family that you love them, plus they are wonderful to receive as well.

From tasty jams, homemade pies, and pickled veg to easy to make herb mixes such as the dried herb bruschetta mix below is ideal to share.

With herb mix recipes, I love to use these Ball® Mini Mason Jars, the perfect size to decant the herb mix into or even to use as kitchen storage for your herbs and spices.

When making your gorgeous foodie gifts, you can either make your own favorite recipe or you can buy a bulk size of a premade herb mix and decant into the Ball® Mini Jars.. Either way, they’ll be happily enjoyed and taste amazing.

I like to create a recipe story for my foodie gifts, such as this easy to make pasta basket. For stocking stuffers or for party gifts, you could fill the Ball® Mini Jars with a dip mix, attach a mini whisk with the instructions, and you have a brilliant little gift to share.
