    I am looking for a gift for someone whom is very special. My car just got stolen last night with my purse and wallet and all my money for the month rent food phone gas living Expenses. I’ve only talked to this lady 2 times. She hears about my story and see her in the hall this evening. Talked to her and we go our separate was. I than return and she hand me an envelop with writing that says do not return. Check for 200.00. Tears are rolling. Please I need a gift idea that I can make from home.

      The mason jar with the homemade cookies and the simple note (#3) would be really easy, frugal, and thoughtful. You can even use an old peanut butter jar or something if you don't have a mason jar.
