We've been giving the same gift for several years now. One of the guy's in our group lives in Kansas, he raises all sorts of fruit bearing bushes and trees. He is a master jelly maker and puts up dozens of jars of jelly. I'm talk-in boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry, choke cherry, elderbarry, wild plumb well you get the idea.

He hands these out like candy, everyone asks about it when ever we talk to them through out the year. To the landowner they all save the mason jars and exchange them for full ones. This has brought more good will than you can believe, it's something personal and jogs people memories of times past when most people canned themselves and grandma always had the best jelly.
