S’mores in a Jar! {Mason Jar Gift or Party Favors}

Following is a fun S’mores Gift in a Jar idea from frugal friend Angela… enjoy!!

The other day, we had our last MOPS meeting for the season. It was definitely bittersweet because I sure do love the ladies at my table and I’m going to miss being at a table with them next year. 

To give my girls just a glimpse of how awesome I think they are, I decided to make them a simple and useful gift that hopefully they can enjoy with their families over the summer.

The inspiration for this idea simply came from the fact that I personally, hope to enjoy our new fire pit a lot this summer and I wanted to give these ladies something that would be useful. My imagination is often drawn to mason jars and chocolate so, I just went with S’mores in a Jar and I think they turned out cute!

The labels that I made say “This summer, live life fully, one S’more (or two!), at a time.”

My hope is that each one of those ladies really will live fully this summer. Taking time to picnic with their children, time to read (outside), time to listen to music (loudly!), time to light candles for even the most casual of dinners, and time to drive with the windows down and the music up.

I think these S’mores in a jar would be great for party favors, an easy gift idea for a teacher, a rustic and sweet favor for a small wedding or even a fun idea for a backyard BBQ party.

      You’ll want to use a wide mouth quart sized mason jar. 🙂

      Finding smooth side jars will be hard (I have only found them at ACE Hardware). I use regular jars and attach the direction or cute little sayings as a tag with ribbon or twine. I hope this will help you!
