I love the idea of surprising friends with treats, so I started this a couple years ago for a small group of women in our community. I filled a mason jar with baked goodies, and attached the following note:
Fill this jar with something yummy,
and then just pass it on.
Please repeat the first step
as soon as the treats are gone.
On the back of the tag, I wrote my name first, then listed each of the women, putting my name last so the jar would end with me (filled with sweets, of course!) I really enjoyed it and hope the other ladies did, too. After two complete rounds, we've taken a long hiatus, but I'm planning to start it up again next week. That works for me!

I didn't remember that you did this ~ it's a generous and fun idea! Love, Mom
what a wonderful idea! Everyone loves a little gift of baking!
What a great idea!
That is a wonderful idea!! Might you change your post to a WFMW (Works for me Wednesday)?
Great idea!!!
What a great and fun idea!
Great idea, Carrie! I'll have to try that once I get more settled and know some people here. Enjoy the rest of your week!
You're welcome, again thanks for the tip!!
This is very creative. I like the idea, maybe try it in Germany and see how it goes.
I LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing it!
What a fun idea! And a great way to get to know neighbors a little better.
We did this once at church--we called it the traveling basket, and we filled it with WHATEVER--i.e. candle, kitchen towel, trinkets, etc. Fun!
what a great idea, not only do you make something nice for your friends, you keep everyone connected and visiting each other too!
That is such a cute idea! I love it and might have to start it in my mom's group.
Such a sweet idea! (Oh, no pun intended.) I should start this for my girlfriends from law school as we've all moved apart from one another. :)
Hey Carrie! I was looking through your archives to find this! I think I'm going to start a traveling treat jar at our church and I knew you had posted a cute little poem to put with it. Thanks for sharing! I hope you and yours are doing well ~ the itty bitty one too! :-)
Blessings,
Katie
I loved this idea so much that I started TWO of them at our church this morning! I also featured the idea on my blog, giving you credit.
