Any ideas for Christmas gifts inside a canning mason jar besides putting a food product in it?

September 1, 2009 - 5:20 am

Looking for something that I can put in mason jars that is not food. I have about 15 to make for gifts, but I don’t want to put cookies or anything in them. Any ideas?

    who are the target recipients?
    You can put small crossword or coloring books, or crayons in them for younger recipients.
    Some other ideas would be hair barretts, bobby pins, "scrunchies" etc for girls.
    If they are for students, you can put pens, pencils, erasers etc.
    You can include soaps and potpourris for some women.

    anything from beads to soap to candles to bath salts etc. if you’re shopping for people into crafts, fill ‘em up w/ art supplies like glitter glue, erasers, trinkets you’ll find at the art store. or if you’re shopping for kids, fill ‘em up w/ school supplies like stickers and pencils, erasers, tiny note pads, etc. or get those fizzy bath balls, different sizes/scents, everyone likes those! think of the receiver(s); what do they like or are into, and hope it’s something small enough to fit inside the jars! good luck! (personally, i’d fill ‘em all up w/ money!!! heh!)

    Okay well, pot pourri, candles, bath bead, epsom salt, cactus, plants, sand with shells, hair scrunchies, jewlery, many different ideas. Check out your local dollar store and scope. There are endless possibilities.
