Growing up my Grandpa loved to make small things out of wood. He made 100's of cribbage boards, bird feeders, rocking horses, etc. and donated 98% of them to charities.

One design that he used to make a ton of was something he called a Peanut Man.

It was pretty simple in design. You fill a mason jar with some small snack item (my favorite is M&Ms) and then it screws into the head. There is a hole to the nose which has a small cup. When you turn the nose it allows the goodies in the cup to dump out the mouth. I was lucky that he made one of these and gave it to me when I was younger, but there are others in the family that never got one. To pay homage to Grandpa I decided to take a stab at modeling this so I could print them.
