We made a dozen Friendship Brownies for my daughters (3 1/2) teachers for Christmas and they loved them! My daughter loved layering the white and brown chocolate chips the best. We cut out fabric circles for the tops, and I made our own recipe tags on the computer instead of using the ones included. They turned out very cute!
Not only was it something inexpensive to give but my daughter could help out as well. My only advice would be to mash things down a bit as you go...we got to the end and the last big ingredient overflowed the jar otherwise.
Great little book!

"Gifts In A Jar: For Kids" is a very cute spiral bound book that contains some great recipes for "kits" that are portioned to fit in 1-quart canning jars. We found this on sale at a book liquidator for a lot less than it is being sold here at Amazon. That being said, now that we have seen the book we would have paid the full price.

The spiral binding is very useful since it allows the book to stay open when laid out on your counter top. This is handy as you measure out the ingredients to be placed in your canning jar or, as my daughter (16) did for 12 of her classmates, plastic gift bags.

The included instruction/gift tags are a nice touch, but we did not want to pull pages out of the book. We just scanned the pages into the computer and printed out the needed copies. You could also make your own labels.

Not just for kids, this is a great resource for anyone needing quick and relatively inexpensive homemade gifts.

Highly recommended!

This is a good book to give you some basic ideas, though most of the recipes have way too much sugar or processed ingredients for us.

This is a cute book to have lying around for all sorts of fun, easy gifts. I got it for cheap and wouldn't recommend paying more than a few bucks for it. There are so many freebies online, it's almost unnecessary for those with internet access at home.

This book was a hit with my grandkids. We made Cookies-in-a-Jar for all the kids in the family. Directions were easy, and recipe cards were available to cut out. Also arrived in a very timely manner!!! Definitely a HIT!!

Item arrived quickly and in great shape. Very professional business relations. I recommend this buyer and this book.
