Just Jars is a good idea but some of the execution is off. Either the things contained are a bit too personal (hemerroid cream for a pregnant lady jar? really?), tend to bespeak thoughless clutter (pot holder in hostess gift, napkins and napking rings -- and entire jar full of travel items for someone who only has so much room to pack, I hardly think they'd be useful if it's a gift given right before departure), or are just plain overpriced (jars of candy, for example). Some are quite cool - Halloween goodies, build-a-snowman kit, BBQ kit. I'm a little wary of some of the things included in something like the St. Patrick's Day jar, I think one would want to go with more attractively packaged foods, or ones imported from Ireland, not a can of Del Monte potatoes.
