It is gift-giving time! You can’t show up to that holiday party empty handed! Give a present that says: I thoughtfully put this together for you. Happy (insert holiday here)! Joking aside, a nice basket of spices and herbs is a gift that many people would appreciate. You can also customize it to the person you are giving it to.
The reason I thought of this gift is due to my spice shelf being a mess. I have very little room on the three shelves and bottles are constantly falling off. It doesn’t help that my toddler loves “re-arrange” the one shelf she can reach. Re-arranging happens every few days with another jar broken or spilled.
The thought crossed my mind that I should start over and get new jars. New jars would fix everything! (It would be the catalyst for the organization my life needs!) So, I did some research and found some great spice jars that were inexpensive, sturdy, and looked nice. I had ordered some bulk spices in the fall and planned on just refilling the jars I had, but with new jars, they would all be the same size and would look a little more organized.
While I was in the process of researching the jars, I realized what a nice present this would make. Perfect for a hostess gift. Enough with giving cookies! Give a gift that keeps on giving. (Not trying to be cheesy, I swear.)
I bought the spiceluxe square 4oz bottles on Amazon. I liked them because they are square and fit more snugly than round ones. The jars come with silver stickers to write on, but if you didn’t want silver, you could buy the mudder fancy shape kraft paper stickers on Amazon.
Bulk spices are getting easier to find. I’m sure your supermarket has some. I bought a variety from Thrive Market. They were inexpensive and also organic.
To package your gift, I would find a nice basket and kitchen towel. Put a bow on it and enjoy! Happy gift-giving!
