Jars - they aren't just for canning anymore. They also make excellent gifts. And the greatest thing about a gift jar is that sometimes, the jar is simply the holder of the gift (and yet, you still get a jar - like BONUS!). And sometimes, the jar IS the gift - like with the polka dot mason jar vase.
If you have plant lovers on your gift list, there are a few great options for a jar that can be used as a planter. And there are a couple of lovely "terrariums" using fake plants, allowing you to give the gift of green that is completely "brown-thumb-proof"!
A great gift doesn't have to cost a lot or take a lot of work to make. What really matters is that it is a gift from your heart. And it is my hope that you find some wonderful "heart gifts" in this collection of DIY gift jars.
I'd love to hear about any that you make if you'd like to leave a comment!
