Looking for Christmas gift ideas for friends, family, or teachers? Check out these mason jar gift ideas for easy and inexpensive gifts that are ready for gifting. This includes both food and mixes in jars and non food items.
I like to give a lot of gifts at Christmas to show my appreciation for those who have helped us during the year. Between teachers, therapists, and volunteers at our nonprofit, I unfortunately don't have a huge budget.
But that doesn't mean that I can't gift a cute and unique gift. I often do Mason jar gift ideas because they are fun and definitely different types of gifts.
I usually pick one gift and assembly line then. In just a few hours, I can make 10 to 20 of these gifts in jars in an afternoon.
While I was searching for gift in jar ideas, I picked some food mixes so the recipient can make them later. I also included some premade food items and some non food gifts in jars.
Have fun creating!
