Give the Gift of Granola for the Holidays Pour homemade granola into mason jars and adorn them with festive ribbons for a great holiday gift. Offer such treats to teachers, friends and neighbors as a token of holiday giving and good cheer. Consider adding a little tag that lists the ingredients and storage instructions. You can also fill the granola in cellophane bags, decorative jars, ceramic bowls and baskets lined with fabric. Swap your personal favorites for any of the dried fruit or nuts to make it your own.
