First step: re-wrote out the ingredients so that I would omit the wet stuff, and so that the dry stuff would be in contrasting layers, somewhat. Also that the bicarb and baking powder, wouldn't be a 'lump' at the bottom or top (and in some order so I wouldn't forget an ingredient). Printed out the label for the front, and the 'how to' for the back. The recipe used is this recipe that I've used before, and really liked.

wholemeal flour in first, then the choc chips |
I realise now that between adding each ingredient, I have to check for 'flour dust' on the inside so it doesn't impair the view of the layers. Note to self: next time.

finished, with serviettes packing at the top to minimise ingredient movement. |
And attach your labels

and you're done. I hope the recipient likes his gift. Happy Birthday to William!
EDIT: It was Bakerella's 'Cowgirl Cookies' in a jar that originally got me started. Everyone else has very colourful jars but bearing in mind artificial colours/flavours etc, I am happy for mine to be a more 'nuetrals' tone :) So some more useful links for mix-in-a-jar type gifts are:
