Season’s greetings! It’s time to SPICE up your holiday gifting and give your coworkers, family and friends a little gift they’ll actually USE. With Darice, it’s easy to buy the bulk supplies you need to make these cute, easy spice mix gifts for the holidays! Whip a few variations of spice mixes, separate them into perfectly sized jars and top them with sticker labels and custom wooden tags for homemade gifts everyone will love. I loved making these in bulk so I have them ready to share with those hard-to-shop-for friends. We also gifted a whole set to Andrew’s aunt to try out with her new smoker! Keep reading for the easy how-to and five spice mix recipes.
Pre-made spice mix gifts will come in handy for anyone who enjoys cooking. Honestly, even if they don’t enjoy cooking, these spice mixes will make their dinner recipes easier! Shop for everything you need in bulk at Darice.com or in smaller quantities at ConsumerCrafts.com to make spice mix gifts this year. There are so many ways you can customize your homemade gifts with sticker paper labels, colored twine and hand-drawn tags. I like to believe that everyone appreciates a thoughtful homemade gift!
Supplies:
- Hinged lid glass jars
- Unfinished wood tags
- Circle punch, 1.5 inches (size of jar lid)
- Baker’s twine or thin ribbon
- White sticker paper
- Cricut pen or similar
Step 1: Mix your spices! Scroll down for the recipe card featuring five homemade spice mix gifts that pair with almost anything. Once mixed, fill a clean jar with the spice mix.
Step 2: Print out spice mix names on a piece of sticker paper. If desired, add a patterned background. Make sure they are small enough to fit on the 1.5-inch top of the jar.
Step 3: Cut the paper into sections. Flip the 1.5-inch circle punch over so that you can see what you’re cutting, and position the text in the middle. Punch out each spice mix label.
Step 4: Once punched, peel off the backing and stick to the top of each jar to label the spice mix gifts. Note, you can also use standard cardstock paper and an adhesive.
Step 5: Next, draw “Season’s Greetings” on the wooden gift tags. You can use a Cricut machine and fine tip pen to draw on the tag or freehand your design.
Step 6: Cut a piece of baker’s twine about 8 inches long. Wrap it around the spice jar favor, pulling it under the metal hardware. Tie the wooden tag onto the twine and tie it into a bow.

On the 13 pound brisket, I used the Sweet and Spicy over mesquite wood in the electric smoker—it was moist and delicious. Did use the whole small jar.

Loved the recipes as I know I will need more. I’m planing another beef brisket but I can’t decide what rub to use. I know it will take the whole jar.
Holly Wade
Aunt MyieGlad you like them! I’ll happily make you more for the next time we see you! I would suggest the sweet and spicy rub for the brisket.
