Cookie mix jar gift

I made those cookie jars gifts for Christmas 2008. A great idea would be to make it for a Birthday depending on seasons. Change the fabric and ingredients. Like valentine M&M or strawberry ones for Summer unstead of chocolate chips. Who has a Birthday in February?

You can find one more recipie and idea Here . Although think about trying the recipe before you give it away. Mine has been tested and approved by the little crazy hands...
