12 Homemade Christmas Gifts Ideas You Can Give in a Jar – Thermomix Recipes

Gingerbread Christmas Trees

12 Homemade Christmas Gifts Ideas You Can Give in a Jar

With Christmas fast approaching everyone is looking for inspiration for homemade gift ideas. We love making homemade recipes in our Thermomix to fill up glass jars. It can be fun to get the kids involved to help with the cooking or to decorate the jars with ribbon or other Christmas decorations.

These jar ideas are great for Christmas gifts for friends, family and neighbours. They are also great to use for new home gifts, thank you gifts or teacher gifts.

Collect your glass jars throughout the year from pasta sauces, tomato paste or coconut oils. Or they are fairly cheap to buy from discount shops. They are easy to decorate and you can fill them with just about anything.

Here are 12 of our favourite Thermomix recipe ideas to fill up your gift jars:

Tips: Try adding 3 drops of ginger doTERRA Essential Oils to the gingerbread mixture – For more information about doTerra Essential Oils please contact us on our Facebook Page: Fayi Essential Oils.

    So overjoyed to have such beautiful recipes made easier to make using the thermomix!

Cannot recommend this book enough, a must have for anyone who loves Greek cuisine!!!

    This brings back some wonderful childhood memories of family dinners and the mouth watering smells wafting through the house. Thank you for “Thermomixing” the recipes to make it easier to recreate them for my family. Well done girls!!!

  • Sarah

    I have made two items so far from the cook book. The traditional greek yogurt, so yummy and so easy. I was happy I could make it thicker than I usually buy it. I also made the rice pudding which was amazing and also very easy. I normally don’t like rice pudding so was very happy with the recipe. I’m looking forward to cooking all the other yummy recipes especially the cheeses and the souvlaki.
