1. Know a coffee lover? Make a Coffee Bar in a Jar gift!
Any coffee fan would love some seasonal mugs, coffee, and coffee syrups! You can even gift them inside a nice jar that can then be used to store coffee afterward. You can do this at any price point and I found my affordable supplies at Walmart. If you split up the mugs and syrups you can make two of these gifts for under $25 each.

2. Want to gift something sweet? Bake this Banana Bread In a Jar!
Nothing beats receiving a baked good on Christmas, so if you love to bake, you have to try giving out some banana bread in a jar this holiday season! Since you’ll be baking these delicious treats directly in the oven, Lina used these quality 8-ounce jam jars as they need to be sturdy enough to handle the heat.
Finish off this treat by decorating jars to fit your liking, which happens to be my favorite part of all these ideas! 🤩
3. Know someone in need of some me-time? Give a mani in a jar!
Give the gift of self-care by putting together this stunning manicure in a jar! Although we mentioned this as a Mother’s Day gift, it’s perfect for any occasion.
Pick some gorgeous colors, press on nails, a nail filer, hand cream, and tools to remove the polish, and now you’re giving the gift of beautiful nails!
4. Does someone on your list love apples? Gift something fresh with this Crockpot Apple Butter!
Using the slow cooker, we have the most delicious apple butter recipe around. 😍 You can use this spread on your toast, pancakes… pretty much anything!
All you have to do is chop up some apples, mix in some spices, and let the slow cooker take care of the rest. Add some apple butter into a few small jelly Mason jars, and now you have one delicious gift that can’t be beaten.
5. Gift the scent of Christmas with these Potpourri Christmas Jar Gifts!
There are so many different methods of getting that homey Christmas scent we all long for each holiday season, but we’re biased toward these Potpourri Christmas Mason Jar Gifts.
These jar crafts are so easy to make. Simply gather a few ingredients including orange, rosemary, cinnamon, clove, and star anise, place them in a mason jar, and attach our FREE printable gift tags that include directions on how to heat up the potpourri on a stovetop. Your recipient will love filling their home with that sought-after Christmas scent we all long for.
6. Giving a gift card? Put it in a DIY Mason Jar Snow Globe!
Gift cards are one of the most convenient gifts to let someone know you’re thinking about them, but instead of giving a gift card by itself, why not go the extra mile and create a DIY Mason jar snow globe?!
A wide-mouth Mason jar will work best with a project like this. Putting these jar crafts together is super easy. Head to your local Target and check out their Bullseye Playground section as they have tons of little trees, faux snow, and more! Even Dollar Tree will have great options, too. Stick a mini ornament in there, and you’ve got yourself a DIY snow globe!
