Our Big List of 25 DIY Mason Jar Gifts

3 · Dec 12, 2024 · Daria Patrunjel · 1 Comment

I’ve always been a hoarder of mason jars, even before drinks they became all the rage on Pinterest. Can you believe there was actually a time when mason jars weren’t cool? Anyway, I love reusing them, whether it’s for storing this and that or wrapping up a gift in an instant.

17. DIY Solid Perfume with Shimmer

Solid perfume is the perfect addition to their purse – or their travel kit! Now, you just need to know their favorite scents. 

18. Loose tea 

We love giving and receiving tea as a gift. But sadly most tea produces a lot of trash. Instead, pick up loose tea in bulk and package it up in a glass jar. Add a few more natural essentials and you’ve got the perfect zero waste gift basket.

22. Fermented vegetables 

While these need some time to be ready for gifting, we think you can’t go wrong with fermented vegetables (or red cabbage sauerkraut) next time you’re invited to a holiday dinner. 

23. 5-minute mason jar candles

The best thing about these candles is that you can make many of them in very little time. They’re very decorative and celebration-worthy with the citrus slices peeking through. 

24. Soy wax melts 

This alternative to burning candles (perfect for families with small kids or pets!) packs well in mason jars and even lasts longer if it’s airtight. 

How to make infused candles

25. Infused pumpkin chai candles

The cozy scent of these infused pumpkin chai candles will be the talk of the party!
