Why be limited to giving great mixes in glass jars when there are so many other options? You can also use heavy-duty plastic freezer bags. Once you've filled the plastic bags with the mix, there's an endless variety of ways you can fancy 'em up for gift-giving:
- Place them in a decorative tin or cookie jar
- Package them in a cloth-lined basket
- Have your kids paint pictures on lightweight cardboard gift containers (available at craft stores) or use leftover oatmeal containers
- Place them in a beautiful mixing bowl, and if you want to be extra nice, include a good-quality wooden spoon
- Make it a whole baking kit: include a cookie sheet, measuring spoons, cups and timer. College students love to receive this package in the mail!
