Novelty Gift - a Jar of " Nothing! "

Um Safia's Note:

As soon as I saw this idea, I knew I had to post it here! Print or write this onto a piece of card : Didn't you say "nothing"? When you were asked what you wanted for your Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation or Christmas. Don't you remember saying NOTHING? Well this time someone heard you & searched high and low to find this perfect gift for you. I chose a French Kilner jar as they are pretty & very useful but you could really use any jar you like!

1. Cut a small piece of paper - large enough to fit your saying on. It's nice to flute the edges or shape then slightly.
2. Write or print the saying onto the paper & glue it to the jar.
3. Tie a piece of ribbon around the lid & form into a bow.

I just love this idea! Especially farmchick's idea - I will be using this for my grandmother, our kids' great-grandmother when we visit her up in Arkansas. She already has a lot of bath stuff (she doesn't need more), she is on a special diet (no sugars, etc), she isn't into electronic gadgets. This is perfect! Thanks so much!

This is hysterical! Give 'em just what they asked for!!! (I think a real gift afterwards is a good idea, though.)

This will be perfect for my dad!!! He's not just saying that he wants nothing,he is even announcing it a couple of weeks before his birthday! Probably that's his way of making sure he'll get something.Well,on the next opportunity ,he'll get a Jar of Nothing!
