Homemade Spice Mix Gift Basket

Are you looking for a useful gift for the home cook on your list? You can use homemade spice mixes for gifts. One of my favorite ways to gift spices is in a basket lined with a kitchen towel. You can get creative and add measuring spoons, a wooden spoon, or a spatula if you wish.

How to Make a Spice Mix Gift Basket

To make a spice mix gift basket, you just need a few items: a basket, of course, a kitchen towel to line the basket, and jars of spices.  I like these 8-ounce Mason jars for spice jars. We have you covered with 3 different seasoning mix recipes and printable gift tags. You just need to print out the gift tags, cut them out, punch a hole in them and then attach them with twine or a ribbon to the jars.
