Mason jars are super practical, trendy and fun. Consider using them to make some one of a kind, creative kit gifts for your family and friends!

We are trying to keep Christmas sweet and simple this year. I am lucky to have some awesome family and friends that really appreciate DIY heartfelt, handmade gifts. We love to get creative with our gift giving and come up with some fun and unique gift ideas that you won’t find at just any store!

I keep seeing these amazing DIY Gift Kits in Mason jars and I thought it would be fun to do a round-up of some cute ones for holiday gift giving, and instructions to make your own Mason Jar Gifts!

How to make your own Mason Jar Kit Gifts:
Grab a Mason Jar:
You can grab one out of your stash if you are a Mason Jar hoarder like I am, or you can buy a pack of jars if you are going to make multiple gifts.

I really like these wide mouth jars because you can stuff them a lot easier than the regular mouth jars.

If you want to be festive, there are also these pretty, green wide mouth jars:

Handled Jars are really nice, and make great drinking jars later on! This set of two is a little bit bigger at 38 oz. and will hold a lot more items:
