"What do I get someone who already has everything?"... its the question that has been asked over and over. Whether this is the case for you, or maybe you're on a tight budget and are looking for a thoughtful DIY gift for a loved one, you're in the right place! A food gift is a great option, because really...who doesn't love a good sugar fix. Another awesome thing about this is that there are thousands of things that can fit in a jar. Then add some ribbon or a bow and a personalised label, and you've got yourself a lovely little present. Here are my top 3 picks -
