Grandma’s SWEET Treats!

Grandma’s SWEET Treats!
Every Grandma needs a cookie jar…or a candy jar…or an anything SWEET jar!
I found these fun jars at Target
and thought I would personalize them with a little vinyl,
Once it is applied to the jar…
you have a one of a kind SWEETS jar.
Now just fill with some baking goodies
and some actual SWEET treats,
And you have yourself a perfect gift for Grandma.
Or change the name and make one for yourself because really, we all need our own SWEETS jar!
I am pulling an Alison and bribing you for comments today…
I made three extra of the vinyl I showed above “Grandma’s Sweet Treats”. I will ship them to three lucky commenters!
Winners will be picked on Friday night, July 23, 2010!
Winners:
Susan said: What a SWEET little project! Thanks for the giveaway!

What would you always have stocked in your
SWEET TREATS
jar?
Right now mine would be full of chocolate covered cinnamon bears. Tomorrow, maybe oreos.
If you need info on Vinyl click here and it will give you all you need to know:)
OH and if you are thinking about buying a craft cutter…hang on…we’ve got some fun news coming soon!
Make sure you are on our email list because that’s where we will share it!
What a cute idea! Every day I pick up a little treat from the vending machine at work to bring home to my Grandchildren….This would be perfect to put on my counter to fill with all kinds of treats….=) Thank you for the chance to win one of your vinyl….
This is adorable! It would be an affordable gift to give, too! Ever since I discovered your blog I have been inspired to by crafty! Thanks for the chance to win one of your vinyls!
This is very cute. What a great gift! You could even do one for Teacher’s Treats and give it to the teacher at the beginning of the year. So many of them have a stash of goodies they give to the kids anyway. Of course, you’d use candy, pencils, rulers, etc. to fill it. I love this idea.
Kit´s last blog ..Menu Plan Monday – July 12
What a perfect gift for Grandma! She will love it! Ours would be stuffed with peanut M&Ms!
Adorable gift idea! Would be a great Christmas gift!
What a fun gift! I think right now I’d stuff mine with those new pretzel m&ms! Delicious!!
Staci Finlayson´s last blog ..She likes to eat
Right now my kiddos are into Lemon Heads. Maybe a few Cherry Nibs for me!
So cute! My mom would love this! Right now I am craving some double stuffed Oreos- yum!
Love this – bookmarking it!
Mine would be filled with Hershey’s Cookies n Creme kisses…yum!
As a side note, I’m not sure why, but I’m no longer getting email updates…anyone else having this issue? Thanks!
My grandkids are so lucky. They have a nana (me) and a grandma – would love to surprise her with this gift. She is always looking for nana stuff for me. I would fill it with drawings done by the kids ( 11, 8, and 5). Thanks so much!
Love the SWEET treats idea! Heading up to visit grandma next week. The kids haven’t seen her in a few months
. Would absolutely fill this with Hershey Kisses!
So cute!I love it. Mine would HAVE to be filled with Chocolate Chip Cookies for my sweet little boy.
What a great idea. I think I will do these for Christmas gifts for the Grandma’s from the kids. Thanks!
Athienna Calixto´s last blog ..Its the Little Things
too cute…mine would be full of Sour Patch Kids…and I would have to have another full of dove chocolate promises…I have to have fruity and chocolate…can’t just pick one
Mine would be full, err.. 1/4 full of oreos! My kids love EVERY kind of Oreo and I hate the silly plastic case it comes in- Come to think of it, I DO need to go get a cookie jar.. Or get one for my mom- she ALWAYS has cookies of every kind ready for when the kids come over.
Great idea! I’d fill them with plain chocolate chips. Yummm….
My mom would love this for her home! She always has candy sitting on the kitchen counter when we visit her house. I can just imagine the smarties suckers filling up the jar in a perfectly organized manner!
Jen Rysdam´s last blog ..Amen
My mom would love that! My daughter loves graham crackers so we’d definitely have to fill it up with those.
this is so cute. I love jars, so this is right up my alley! my jar would definately be filled with JELLY BEANS!
Andrea Leland´s last blog ..Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
The kiddos’ grandma would love a gift like this! As always, thanks for the fantastic ideas! You Ladies rock!
Love this idea! My mom-in-law ALWAYS has sweets at her house and this would be so perfect for her endtable.
Love your site, check it everyday so thanks for the inspiration! ;o)
This is sooo cute! My mom would love it!
Is there any way to order the vinyl from you guys. I love the font and how you have it all set up!!! I need it!
Let me know.
Look at you, BRIBING people for comments!
-Love this idea Missy. Super SUPER cute.
Hmmmm…. mine would be stocked with peanut m&ms right now.
So cute, thanks for sharing 
i would have to keep jolly ranchers! they last longer. such a cute idea!
jamie´s last blog ..such a boy
I think I will make 2 of these for grandparents day (in September – I think) for my kids to give their grandparents except ours will say “Nana’s Sweet Treats” and “Oma’s Sweet Treats”! Thank you for the idea! I just love your website! (P.S. I am sure our mom’s will thank you too once they receive this wonderful gift!) Michelle
Yummy, Peanut Butter m&m’s
I think I need to make one!
Lindsey´s last blog ..Kennecott Mine
That’s an awesome idea! I need to pick up some of those jars from target. With the vinyl it is a PERFECT gift for grandma!
Love this idea. The grandma will think it is so sweet too! Thanks for the fun idea.
I actually have a jar on my counter that my kids can choose out of. It has granola bars, suckers, chips, fruit snacks, & other things. That way they have a variety to choose from. If it were for me though…there would be chocolate chip cookies in it!
I love this! I have got to get me some kind of machine to cut vinyl with!
I would keep the new pretzel m&m’s, the perfect salty and sweet combo
brandy´s last blog ..Cremacor cookware giveaway!!!
Another awesome idea! There would always be some type of CANDY.. preferably something chocolate!
This would be perfect to give to my mom from you son!
LOVE this idea. So super cute. Mine would be filled with M & M’s and my mom would fill hers with Werther’s Originals. My kids love those!
Mine would be filled with *Smarties*. All the littles love them and they aren’t messy at all!
sooo cute! my mind is buzzing with all the things you can put in it. Maybe matching aprons for Grandma and granddaughter so they can bake the goodies together?
This idea is so adorable!! I may just be making one for all the grandmas in our lives. But in mine, I would totally have to agree with the chocolate covered cinnamon bears…yummy!!
Super cute idea! I’m a new follower to your blog and I’m loving it. I’d fill mine with some yummy shortbread or biscotti!
If it was me… I would have jelly beans or salt water taffy! But it was for my grandma… she’s old-fashioned. She makes soft molasses cookies, snickerdooles, and PB cookies. I just love her
Super cute! We’d keep this for our house, but would probably need 2! Skittles for me and M & M’s for my husband.
Cute…but I don’t think that I could have one in my house since sweet treats last about 1 hour after my hubby comes home! But, grandma could use one.
Tia F´s last blog ..New Photos Posted- Camera Phones
So fun! I would fill mine with m&ms.
So cute! Mine would be stocked with mini-Heath bars!
Another *cute* idea! My husband keeps giving me a hard time and asking, “what’s on your creative agenda THIS time!?” Y’all just have the best ideas! I don’t know how you do it (over and over again), but keep it up!!!
I love this! I am going to be a first time grandma so I need this.. for me! Mine would have hot tamales! I love them when I am scrapbooking!
This is super cute! My jar would have to be filled with either sour patch kids or peanut M&M’s =)
So Cute!!! Mine would be stuffed with Hershey’s Kisses for me and Sour Patch Kids for my kids. I would love this vinyl.
so cute (and simple). My mom and mother-in-law would go nuts over this!
if it were mine…I’d fill it with Hot Tamales!
staci golden´s last blog ..a very creative under the sea birthday party
I think I would rotate the treats weekly! haha I am intrigued by your chocolate covered cinnamon bears! Never even heard of those.
Jessica Gabriel´s last blog ..One of those learning experiences
It would for sure be filled with Jelly Bellys! YUM!
What a great idea. I love it. Great gift idea for a house warming too! You gals are great! Keep ‘em coming!
Hmmmmm so many options. Bridge mixture is my favourite. Or oreos. I could sneak more because the jar would be quieter than the package.
What a cute idea!! I’ll tell you what treat jars don’t last very long in my house…not because of my kids but my husband! (Ok, I help as well.)
Chocolate chip cookies…classic and oh so yummy!
Kristin´s last blog ..I need a Silhouette
I would definitely have to say homemade cranberry oatmeal cookies.
I hope I win!
I would keep mine filled with oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies, or whoopie pies, or sugar cookies. OK, now I am starving.
Love this! Mine would be filled with chocolate covered gummy bears!
What a cute idea! This will be the perfect gift for my mother-in-law! I love chocolate cinnamon covered bears as well. I would put either those or some homemade caramel corn.
How adorable! My mother’s birthday is coming and I think she needs this!
Mine would be filled with vanilla wafers. My 2 year old loves them…and so do I
I love it! I think it is interesting that you mentioned chocolate covered cinnamon bears because I have been wanting some of those lately!
Cute idea. Did you use outdoor vinyl? Mine would be filled with home made chocolate chip cookies.
Mmmmm. sugar cookies, with extra frosting
So cute! Everyone needs a treat jar!
Oh how adorable! I just bought a jar like that for my girls birthday tea party… here’s crossing my fingers for some surprise vinyl to get some more use out of it!
My favorite treat is homemade chocolate chip cookies. Simple but fabulous!
By the way, thanks for the Rainbow Polka Dot Party post… I showed my little girls the pictures a while back and they were smitten. We used it for inspiration for their party on Tuesday. Gave you a little shout out on my blog
Malissa´s last blog ..Sweets- eats- teacups- and pearls
Love it! Mine would be filled with swedish fish…YUM!
I would love to win this for my mother…she is loves to spoil all the grandkids with treats..I always find them in the pantry with the door closed(grandma and the grandkids.) I would love to feel it up with chocolate no bake cookies, but they dont last long enough to put into the jar. My mom makes great peanut butter bars…or chocolate chip cookies.
So cute! I would stock mine with those pink “pepto bismal” candies. We eat them till they make us sick =)
I would love to win your cute vinyl…That is adorable. I would fill my jar with skittles.
LOVE IT!
I totally need to make this for my Mom, next week is her annual Grandma’s week where she takes all of the grandchildren for an entire week! This years theme is “grandma’s Gone Wild”, and is wild animal based. I know that she would have a different treat or surprise for the jar every single day!
Britanie´s last blog ..Parker at 4 Months
This is sooo cute!!! love it!!! my mom so needs one of these, kids go straight to the candy once they walk in the door of grandmas house!!!
so cute! Amy(your cousin) showed me your website and it is so cute!! I love this idea! I would totally fill it with m&m’s. yuumm
Perfect idea for Grandparents day coming up quickly in Sept! So cute!
So cute! I think our grandmas need some of these for their desks at work! Maybe some kisses inside too!
Homemade peanut butter cookies….! ♥
CupcakeDD´s last blog ..
Fun!
I would fill my jar with..chocolate. Anything. Everything. Chocolate!
What a cute idea…especially with the vinyl! I would stock mine with peanut m&ms!
What an awesome idea…will be doing this for Grandma’s birthday!
These are awesome!!! I know a few grams who would be tickled to have this!!! Great Idea!
This is so fun & cute! You have such great ideas!

I love this idea (as well as all of your others) I love the inspiration I get from this blog.
Another great idea from How Does She? Am so inspired by all your posts! Granny would be sure to fill the sweetie jar with smarties – the rainbow of colours would be too hard to resist!
What a SWEET little project! Thanks for the giveaway!
I am SO loving these jars!! The stickers are adorable. I have my first two grandchildren arriving (one next month and the other in January!) and one of my daughter’s fondest memories of my mom was a little mailbox she kept in the kitchen and when she put the flag up, the grandkids could pick a candy out of it. I was thinking the other day that I wanted to do something similar with my grandchildren and this is perfect!!
That is adorable! I’m totally making one for my mom! She doesn’t really bake much as she has a tendency to burn things:) But she could put store bought treats in the jar. Love the way you did the lettering. Glad I have a Silhouette to use!
thanks!

What a great idea.. love how you added the fun baking goodies to go along with it! At our house you would find it filled with something different each week — sour patch kids, skittles, m&m’s, swedish fish, double bubble gum just to name a few
WOW WOW WOW – you gals are sooooooooooo talented! Something so simple would mean something so special to someone. I am a grandmother to 6 little ones and I definitely need a treat jar for them!! Ya’ll inspire us all to make the cutest things – THANK YOU FOR THAT. Projects like this is why I tell my daughters and all their friends about your site! I hope to one day get a silhouette machine so I can do things like this for my girls and all my grandkids.
My mom would definitely have some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in there!
What a great idea! I would fill mine with yogurt covered pretzels…to start!
I think it is adorable and I would have it filled with some sort of dark chocolates so I could pop my one a day chocolate fix! Thanks for sharing!
I’d want it stocked with cookies. Chocolate chip or snickerdoodles!
My mom would love a jar like this. My dad passed away this last April and she likes to have the kinds of treats he used to give the grandkids so they remember him. A cool jar is just what she needs.
So cute. I don’t have any of these vinyl cutting tools, but you sure have me wondering if I should invest in some.
What a cute idea! I would have my jar filled with oatmeal raisin cookies. Yum!
Too cute!! Those are adorable!
Tammy Moore: Mama Bear Stamps´s last blog ..A State of Transition
This is the cutest!!! Mine would definitely be full of red Swedish fish.
Love these…such a wonderful gift idea for anyone!
Not a Grandma yet but its in the near future. Would love the vinyl to make the jar.
My kids have some “great” grandmas and some really “great” great grandmas that I would love to make these for!
So cute….mine would be FULL of dark chocolate
Nichole´s last blog ..Peek!
chocolate and peanut butter cookies!!!
So cute! Treats would change like the weather…right now though, Swedish Fish would fill it!
ADORABLE idea…I know that I’d fill it with tootsie rolls (that’s what I want right now) but anything chocolate will be the filler!!!!
I love giving gifts like this. Only I buy my jars at the Dollar Tree for $2.00 and add the person’s name to the lid instead. I’ve also used those same jars for storing homemade lotion and sugar scrubs I’ve made to give as a gift. -Karen
Karen´s last blog ..How to Keep Up With and Organize Blog Ideas
Anything sour goes into my sweets jar, but my Grandma always had Werthers Originals in her jar and my mom always has hot tamales.
ummmmmm…….I think anything chocolate……mini chocolate bars or kisses maybe????

Meagan´s last blog ..the BIG LONG post!
I would always have peanut butter cups. LOVE them.
My kids would love cookies of any kind;)
My grandma always had a candy dish filled with sweet treats when we would come to visit. Maybe it is time my mom continued the same tradition. This would be a fun gift to give her.
I would let my little boys pick out the treats and I am guessing that we would end up with an assortment of suckers – their favorite.
What a great idea for gifts for babysitters, neighbors, etc!
Carrie Regan´s last blog ..Summer time and the living is easy!!
What a great gift idea. And so easy too!!! My jar would always be filled with oatmeal butterscotch cookies. I can’t get enough of thsoe!
What a great idea! I’d fill my sweets jar with homemade chocolate chip cookies. When I’m not in the mood to make the cookies I’d fill the jar with peanut M&Ms.
My sweet treats jar would definitely be filled with chocolate peanut butter cups. And not the Reese’s ones either…I prefer the Walmart brand when I can find them. The peanut butter is much creamier.
How cute! Love the idea, and I think I’ll be making some of these for the grandmas. Of course, that would be easier if I won the giveaway….
I would LOVE to make this for my Mom who will be moving back home after a 1.5 yr stay at an assisted living center. She can’t wait to get back to baking and spoiling her grand kids the way she always has done. What a great and creative idea! Her big 75th birthday is also coming up so this will make a great addition to her gift!
marklovessue@nuamil.org
This is a fantastic idea and the possibilities are endless!! Mine would be filled with peanut M&M’s.
I am not sure our jar would ever be full. I have four little ones and they are growing like crazy!! Food of every kind disappears instantly. It would be fun to try to keep it full, though.
Maybe throw in some grapes or blueberries to throw the little ones off.
My mom’s whole pantry is a like a candy shop! I’d fill it with sour patch kids or oreos!!
Love this idea and your site. May have to make one for myself. Right now, I’d fill it with Swedish Fish, (YUM!) but tomorrow it might have to be something chocolate.
Perfect! I would fill the jar with chocolate covered pomegranate seeds. Yummy.
I love this! Like others mentioned, there are endless possibilities for this. I think I would have it filled with Oatmeal/Choc chip cookies. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

Did you know Stacy and I both have these jars to hold our sugar/flour? Love them! I would fill my sweets jar with chocolate covered pretzels…yum!
I love all of these great projects using vinyl! I’ve been trying to purchase a Cricut so I can start some of these crafts. I would fill my jar with salt water taffy!!
I love this! It’s so cute. But I am going to make one for me! It’s going to say mom’s sweet treats. I love cookies!! Chocolate Chip especially. My grown brothers all still come straight into my pantry when they enter my house! And my kids know mom always treats hidden around. It’s perfect for my kitchen! I think I’ll make one for my grandma as well. She’s where my sweet tooth and treat hiding habit come from!
I am new to this site, and blogs in general. I love all the fascinating ideas you have on here. I was about to tell my hubby to come look at his mom’s next Christmas gift but decided to wait and just show him later!
homemade white choco chip cookies
it’s no wonder I have put on a few pounds lately!
Adorable! I’d have to say my little sweets jar would always be filled with Tootsie Rolls! My hubby is gone, my kids are in bed and I have no treats in the house! I desperately need to make myself a cute little jar, fill it, and HIDE it somewhere:)
Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Ok – I’ll mix it up with some Reese’s as well. They aren’t all chocolate:)
Love the idea. My mom would love one of those jars!! Too cute!
How adorable is that? I have one Hot Rod Granny that needs a Sweet Treats Jar! This is my next project!
Adorable! What a great idea. This is great timing! I have just started working on my Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty much anything chocolate would do! I love m&m’s for a sweet little treat. I also like Jordan Almonds. I think I’d put some of those in there. My sweet jar would probably need a lock and key though to keep me (and my 4 little boys) out of it! Thanks for sharing the cute idea!
Love this idea! I would need two one with pb m&ms and the other with chocolate covered cinnamon bears!
Ahh, I would just love to give one of these to my mom! She would definitely put M&M’s in hers. The kids can always count on her for M&M’s!
Thanks for the great ideas!
That is so cute!!
Debbie´s last blog ..Week 27 Blondie step by step
Very.. VERY… CUTE!
I’m gonna run out to Target in the morning and hope I find some!
Cute!
Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Super cute! LOVE it!
M&M’s, M&M’s, M&M’s!!!
great gift!
Definitely smarties – all my grandkids love those and I have a little jar for them sitting on my table in the kitchen. This would make it sooooooooo much cuter. Thanks for sharing with us!
Jelly Bellies! Gummy worms! Lemonheads and Laffy Taffy! My boys would love it!!! Great idea for a teacher gift.
I’m thinking Coconut M&M’s…. have you had them? DELI|CIOUS!
Amy B´s last blog ..Spending Freeze
Some fresh baked Chocolate chip cookies right from grandmas oven! MMMmmm! What a darling idea!!!
My sweets jar would probably change weekly!! M&M’s one week, double stuf oreos the next! OR one of my all time favorites…my grammies cookies!! YUM!
Brittany´s last blog ..Sadies Birthday Party the ONE!
What a ‘sweet’ idea. I might have to make one for my Sunday School class.
I’d like to have one that said “Gloria’s Bribe Jar” and I’d fill it with chocolates. I’d keep it on my desk at work cause those people love chocolate!
How fabulous!!! I would be honored if you would stop by next week and share it during my Pretty Packages Party. Pick up a button so you don’t forget!
smiles!
