With just a little over 10 weeks until Christmas, it is already time to start thinking about gifts! The more gifts that can be taken care of ahead of time, the easier the holiday season will be. I came up with a really fun idea that can be customized to pretty much any person or occasion called: {Everything} In A Jar Today, I am going to show you the ones I made for teachers!

Glow-in-the-Dark DrinksI saw something new (to me) at a spring break celebration in Myrtle Beach this weekend -- glow-in-the-dark Jell-O™ shots.
