Christmas gift question

 I'm putting together one of these:

for my grandmother for Christmas (in addition to some other kitchen stuff). My problem is that I have a lot of Pint size jars and NO quart size jars... I'm wondering if it would look tacky to split the recipe in half and put it in 2 pint size jars in one box/bag... the tag would say add x, add y, and two jars of quick bread mix, mix well, blah blah blah.

so okay to pint size it twice, or should I hunt down a quart size jar?

Re: Christmas gift question

  • I'm also open to any layered recipes that would fit a pint size jar (other than hot chocolate or cocoa).

  • I think you could make if work that way. Plus, if she's only cooking for one or two, she may want to split the recipe anyway.

  • What about making 2, 1/2 sized recipes so that she won't have as much. Unless you want her to make it all at once?

  • Good ideas... I also thought of making the card say the mix is for quick read muffins, rather than the loaf. 

     Thanks guys.

  • I made the full size jars 2 years ago. Main complaint: you need the sutff at the bottom of the jar first. and it is hard to get out.

    If you can find a cute way to package it I would say make 2.

    Edited to add - you really have to pack the stuff in there in order to get it all in. That was a pain but they look really pretty afterwards. The bottle in the picture (if really packed) would be a pain for someone to actually bake. 

    I was hoping to make cakes in a jar for a few people but time is not on my side this year.
