kfeusse Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 in the past whenever I have given gift cards, I usually just taped it to a candy bar, small box of candy, small toy....depending on the receiver. I just came across this idea of fillilng a pint canning jar with M&M's (or something similar, like jelly beans) and pushing the gift card inside the middle, sticking out the top just a little. Put a little fabric on the top, under the ring, and you have a cute gift with nice presentation. Well, I have a SIL who has all sort of dietary problems. WE got her a gift card to her favorite store and I would like to gift it to her in this fashion, but the contents can't be food...any suggestions for me as to what I can use instead? As a side, if you have any other great food ideas that I can use for other people, I am interested in that too. So far I have M&M's, peanuts, other holiday candy, and unpopped popcorn. thanks.

whitestavern Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Neat idea! For your SIL, what about creating one of those 15 bean soup recipes? I think it's just herbs and beans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfeusse Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 oh, that might work...hmmm but I don't know if beans are good for her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
