Before you begin
A small dry-fruit jar is easy to include with bayana or a thank-you card. Use a container designed for food, keep the decorations outside and choose treats that suit the recipient. Dairy sweets need chilled storage and are a different packaging choice.
Keep ready
- 1 clean, completely dry food-grade jar with lid
- Ready-to-eat nuts or dried fruit to fill the jar
- Ingredient label and pen
- Ribbon or fabric lid cover
- Clean scoop
How to do it
- 1Check the jar is intended for food and has no chips or cracks. Clean it and let it dry completely before filling.
- 2Choose ready-to-eat dry treats and check the recipient’s allergies and each packet’s storage instructions.
- 3Use a clean dry scoop to add the treats. Leave a little room below the lid rather than pressing them tightly.
- 4Close the lid securely and wipe the exterior before tying a ribbon below it.
- 5Label the contents, nuts or other relevant allergens, packing date and any storage directions from the original packets.
- 6Keep the jar cool and dry, and give it with a short note. Keep chilled sweets in suitable refrigerated packaging instead.
Helpful tips 💡
- Do not mix soaked nuts or cut fresh fruit into this dry jar.
- Keep craft glue, paint and glitter away from the rim and inner lid.
Plan ahead & keep for later
Pack dry products a day ahead using their original storage guidance. Keep the original ingredient information available for the recipient.
Common questions
Can I put coconut ladoos in the same jar?
The condensed-milk ladoos in this collection need refrigeration. Pack them separately in a suitable chilled container rather than mixing them with a dry gift jar.
What if the recipient cannot eat nuts?
Choose suitable dried fruit or individually wrapped treats, and check labels for cross-contact warnings as well as ingredients.
