13. well do something that others might not take the time to do. If the other person made cookies, why not make a "recipe jar" ? These usually consist of you taking a empty mason jar, and filling it up with the components to make a dessert. Pour in the flour, then the other dry things, close the jar, and attach a ribbon for decoration and a small paper listing instructions for the desert and what wet ingredients the instructor needs to complete the job.
