Put a wanted ad on your local Craigslist and in free shopper papers for the jars. Offer $2-3 per dozen for canning jars. You'll get your jars. Lots of times people have them in their basement but don't can anymore. They don't want to throw out the jars. Sometimes these are older folks who won't give them away BUT they are willing to sell them. For some, it's less the amount of money they get than the principle of SELLING the jars over giving them away. (I have some older relatives who are this way. They won't GIVE anything to ANYONE other than family. )
I want a battery tester. I'm always finding batteries laying about and I don't know if they are good or bad. I know it's not much, but I never remember to buy one when I am out, and it's something I would truly enjoy.
Besides, the BEST Christmas gift is the One Who died for me!
