A homemade treat is the perfect gift for many special occasions. Whether for Christmas or a birthday party, delight your family and friends with homemade goodies in labeled jars. These custom-made gifts add a personal touch to the occasion and the recipient is sure to appreciate them. Here are a few tips to help you use chalkboard labels and jar labels creatively to enhance the look of your homemade gifts. If you are planning to gift homemade pickles and jams, put the jars in wooden caddies and label them using jar labels for rustic appeal. Secure the labels around the neck of the jar with twine or colorful ribbon. To personalize it further, you can also stick colorful labels on the either side of the caddy. It makes a wonderful gift that the recipients can put to use in their kitchens. While choosing from different types of jar labels, chalkboard labels or galvanized metal ones are a good choice as they can be reused. Apart from labeling jars, you can simply gift these labels in colorful wrapping paper to gardening enthusiasts. These labels are very helpful in labeling and marking plants such as herbs in a kitchen garden. Gift these labels along with some colorful chalk and twine to secure them around planters. Gardeners are sure to appreciate this thoughtful gift. Another creative way to present homemade jams and pickles is to label them with chalkboard labels. These labels are easily available in art and craft stores, home organization stores or you can make them at home. All you need is wooden cutouts or thick cardstock along with chalkboard paint. You can cut these labels into different shapes and sizes depending upon the size of the container and the tastes and likes of the recipient. To give a wonderful touch to the handmade treats you wish to gift, use a canning kit. These kits usually come with printed labels, jar bonnets and recipe cards. The labels can be secured to the jars with clear-drying adhesive and topped with printed bonnets. After embellishing the jar, attach the recipe card to it by tying with twine or a cord. These recipe cards will help you share your recipes with your friends and family and add a charming touch to your jars of jams and preserves. If you want to add a personal touch to chalkboard labels and canning labels, have them embossed with the recipient's name and monogram. As a finishing touch, punch a hole at the top of these labels to tie with twine or ribbon.
