For upcoming holidays, birthdays or any other special occasion, use jars to get creative with your gift giving! Check out these super cool ‘gift in a jar’ ideas.
Why I Love You
Write several reasons you love someone on individual slips of paper, roll and tie them and put them in a jar. It’s a thoughtful gift anyone would love.
Energy in a Jar
Fill a large jar with sachets of tea, coffee or hot cocoa, nuts and small granola bars. Decorate the outside of the jar with ribbon, twine, glitter or other embellishments and don’t forget the card.
James Bond in a Jar
Arrange a miniature cologne, the contents of a small grooming kit, a travel-sized shaving cream, a razor, travel-sized aftershave and a breath-freshener in a large jar.
Spa Jar
Whip up some homemade sugar scrub or bath salts and fill a jar with your creation. Tie a ribbon around the mouth of the jar and add a card with instructions for use.
Caramel
A homemade batch of caramel sauce presented in a lovely, decorated glass jar is a sweet gift for any occasion.
Mighty Mom Kit
Fill a quart-sized jar with some painkillers, sachets of tea or instant coffee, breath freshener, lip balm, a mini mascara, a small bottle of hand sanitiser and some chocolates (because those help in any situation!) Finish off with some twine or ribbon and a lovely card.
Mani-pedi Kit
In a large, one quart jar with a lid, carefully arrange all the items necessary for a mani-pedi such as a mini nail polish, small nail scissors, nail file, nail clippers, cotton balls and small packets/vials of foot scrub, foot soak, and lotion. Decorate the outside of the jar and add a card.
