When my daughter was in primary school she gave her class mates 'raindeer poop', she and I tie dyed cotton hankies and fillled them with 'raindeer poop' tied the top with ribbon and she wrote the little poem was so cute.
We used dried fruit and carob buttons for the raindeer poop, the nuts and bolts recipe would be good too

I was in Foodland today and saw these - how easy to make, and they would look nice in a hamper!

I have photographed the ingredients list (hope it is readable!), and on the inside of the card were simple instructions on how to make a basic soup using the contents of the jar

Not seen those before Karen.

Not sure if you can see the price tag below Judy - but they were charging $7.50 for a what was essentially a fancy jar of dried soup mix   

[Cornish Cream]

They look lovely Karen. $7.50 seems a tad expensive,they must have a huge markup price on them.
Super idea though

[judydawn]

I didn't notice that Karen, bit expensive though.  I wonder what fresh ingredients you have to add to them.

[KarenH]

Stock and chopped vegetables ....... meat optional.

Thanks Karen

The last post I made last night onthsi thread had recipes from a site for other soup mixes, and cookie mixes. Just be aware some contain Stock with MSG so need to do substitutes.

Here are some other suggestions . . . was thinking that instead of using stock cubes in the jar maybe a jar of stock concentrate to go along side it might work . . . .

They look great $7.50 a tad steep

I've been thinking about it. I'm doing the vanilla extract also.
You could do things like macadamia or almond spread. Even the stock paste would be a nice gift.

I think I need to find jars though. Any ideas?
